Help tuning SLR McLaren (19" Wheel Option) '09

[Barcelonic]

Just bought fully customisable suspension and transmission kits for my Mercedes. I tried to lower the top speed in favour of quicker accleration and lowered the ride height for better cornering (mostly at front) then increased negative camber.

its such a sweet car its just i want it to handle like my Amuse Carbon (R34) '00 which for me is the perfect handling for my style.

Atm there's too much understeer. It corners OK at higher speeds on light bends but hairpins are still a nightmare and because i've dropped my top speed from 211 to 199 i rely even more on corners now.

If anyone here who knows what they are doing can tune my car for me so it handles tight corners as well as possible and can turn reasonably well at mid-range speeds, i'd be grateful and gift you a car and a colour for doing it. Plus you can borrow it for a couple of days - i't really is about the sweetest looking car plus i've added gold wheels and a rear wing that lifts when you brake.

Anyone fancy it? Id really appreciate it. Thanks

Edit: Oh and im more than happy to add the other customisable parts like LSD before sending it, so that you can balance out what you need to to get it right. I really dont know about this stuff, im basically learning as i go

I left my SLR, my enzo stock and well they all seem to handle just fine to me i swear the custom suspensions need to be avoided like the plague unless you have some idea of what your are doing.

The custom suspensions all have a stock default setting that has nothing to do with the cars needed handling setup.

So when you slap one on you better have an idea what stuff does, or know there is a tune out there for it already.

But for starters play with rhe camber angle so the front has more camber to get more grip into the turns, not excessive camber but mild increase.

Negative toe for the front to get better turn in, again nothing excessive. Positive toe for the back more stability on the straights, should generally be less positive toe in the back than negative toe in the front.

Shock settings well that is a whole other area, generally for better handling, better downforce, it means lowering the car to some degree therefore lowering its center of gravity, which means increasing the stiffness of the suspension. Too stiff and the car will bounce too much making the handling and speed stability worse, too much rebound and the same thing can happen.

You should download some of the general tuning guides which explain this stuff, and you can figure out something workable for you.
