thanks for the advice oversteerin. i dont know much about cars i just did what felt like was improving overall car performance. please feel free to tweak it out and post your setup here for me.
What I would recommend, without having driven the car yet, is something along the lines of this as a starting base to tweak from, and you can make small changes to suit personal preference and/or adjust the balance of over/understeer:
Suspension settings:
Spring rates: (F) 13-13.5, (R) 11.5-12.5
Damping Ext: (F) 8-9, (R) 7-8
Damping Comp: (F) 7-8, (R) 6-7
Sway Bars: (F) 4-5, (R) 5-6
Ride Height: (F) -15, (R) -10
Alignment settings:
Camber: (F) 3.0, (R) 2.0
Toe: (F) -.02, (R) 0.0 (Add + toe, a.k.a. toe IN at the rear if it feels unstable on corner entry, add a tiny bit of - toe, a.k.a. toe OUT if the car understeers)
Diff settings:
Initial torque: (F) 20, (R) 10
Accel: (F) 35, (R) 45-50
Braking (decel): (F) 30, (R) 15
Torque split: (F) 30, (R) 70
Brakes:
(F) 6-7, (R) 4-6
Tires:
Medium racing compound on all 4 is a good starting point, but you may find that running a softer compound on the front than the rear helps eliminate any excess understeer you're left with after you've done everything you can do with the suspension. Try medium compound race on the front and hard compound race on the rear if you run into this. You'll have to buy both sets, which is expensive, but well worth it. 👍
Anyway, these settings should be a good rough starting point for a front engine, AWD car. This type of layout generally suffers from a bit of understeer, and these settings should help the car be a little more willing to rotate, as well as improve responsiveness and stability. Keep in mind these general guidelines: if the car is understeering, stiffen the rear or soften the front, but keep damping rates in a proportional relationship to the spring rates. That's all for now, but I'll check back in on ya later. Let me know how it works out...
