Adjusting L.S.D.

[Ryan G]

Whats up guys...got a problem and question. Im currently driving a M3 CSL in the 550 pp range...heres my problem. As Im accelerating out of a corner, all of a sudden, i see my back end swing around and Im almost sideways coming out of the corner. Granted, this is kinda fun, but when im racing its no fun, because im losing traction, therefore losing precious seconds. I must admit, this is probably 99% driver error (heavy handed/footed) but will adjusting the LSD on the car help compensate for my driving? Which exact settings on the lsd should I play with (increase/decrease) to get the car to stick when accelerating out of a corner. As always, thanks for your help guys!
PS. generally all driving aids are off!

It could be many things. Try upping your INT stiffen it up. The CSL at 10-15 INT is a lil loose on hard throttle exits. then adjusting your accel to get the most useable power put down.

Also raising the rear a bit + softening the rear springs might get the oversteer more controllable.

I have a beautiflully set up M3 CSL. I will check the setting and let you know. It doesn't spin in the corner but swings around them. It really great to drive.

It can be all this points or just a few of them, go and try one by one, nothing radical or exagerate ,set value close to your actual settings, take note to be able to come back if not good. If still swinging set a lower LSD accel and inicial.

- Increase 1 point front sway bar
- Decrease 1 point rear sway bar
- Lower your rear ride height (represented by the front on panel setting)
- Rear compression to hard reduce 1 point
- Front rebound to soft ,increase 1 point
- Front spring too soft
- Rear springs too hard

Thanks guys...gonna try out theses suggestions, when i get to the krib this evening...will post feedback! thanks!

See whether the outside or inside tyre turns red first. If the outside, reduce LSD Initial. If inside, increase.

More generally, softer rear springs and anti-roll will improve rear exit grip.

Good stuff guys...appreciate the feedback on my question!
