Technical Definition of:
Over steer: when the rear wheels do not track behind the front wheels, but instead travel outward from the apex (middle of, the "peak") of the turn.
Under Steer: when you turn the wheel, and even though you are turning as sharp as it can go, your car is still traveling in a straight line. Example, the way someone who has never played Gran Turismo tries to take a turn but is going too fast and ends up in the wall. :lol:

To have a higher S. Rate in the rear will increase grip for the rear tires, especially if you have FR car, when you have an MR, the engine is closer to the rear but the weight is basically already evenly distributed, so its pretty easy to get a noticeable change when you mess with the suspension.

By having the "Compression" higher than the "Extension" by at least two points, will help absorb shock and just increase stability an control. I never understood why on all the cars they are the same.

Anti roll bars keep the wheels on the ground when the body starts to roll. If you are tuning an FR car, you will be pretty safe using a 2/4 or 2/3.

Camber, is best in between 1.0 and 2.5. too much and you start to actually have less tire in contact with the road.

Toe, when you buy any car, it will more than likely have a 0.20 in the rear. Positive camber in the rear makes it less of a drifter car and more of an economy car. lol So to have 0.0 or -0.5 will make it alot more responsive when initiating a drift.

If you are goin to use a race car or you installed a Wing, an notice a hard time initiating a drift, try lowering the Rear Down force or go into the weight distribution settings and put more weight in the rear.

From my experience Tighter front end (ARB and Spring Rate) causes less understeer and more sensitive steering
 
Ahhhhh, my first thread ever posted... i was such a n00b. XD just dont even take that crap above seriously, im actually thinking of revising it, but... its almost un-salvageable.
