my suspension settings on a RX7

[66'Roadster]

Bear with me as Im new to this but I thought Id practice with a car thats been a pig to us both due to oversteer. I used an online guide and input these settings on adjustable sports suspension (not the 15,000 cr option)
Ride height-
Front -4mm, rear -2 mm
spring rate
Front 6, rear 4.5 (larger number =harder right?)
Dampers front 3, rear 2

Camber 0.2 on both
Riding on sports medium, HP at 316, p/w ratio 3.92 kg/Bhp
Still oversteers in high speed cornering but its a major improvement!

You should try raising the rear height. Try -4F and +4R.

Thanks, you mean ride height 4mm front and rear?

Actually, I find a lightly tuned RX7 to be one of the best balanced cars in the game! I would however suggest spending the money on the fully adjustable suspension as the sports kit is simply far too limited in adjustment to make a real difference in overall handling. In fact, I can't remember the last time someone here posted a tune for the sport suspension. Not very popular, and probably for good reason.

Normally I wouldn't use it either but there was a 50K CR tune thread in another sub forum here for budgeted builds so I did experiment a little with the various cheaper parts. One thing I did notice on numerous cars was that the fixed sports suspension often handled worse and produced lower lap times than stock suspension packages, the height adjustable usually features the same default spring rate as the fixed sports, but the minimal range of spring rate, damper and ride height adjustment offered is usually enough to tweak it to slightly above stock suspension performance. These observations don't hold true to all cars, but it's almost worth the fully customized suspension upgrade on all cars you plan to spend any serious amount of effort on to tune.

Stock suspension (good or bad; do weight reductions one at a time, reevaluate)
Fixed Sports suspension (good or bad; do weight reductions one at a time, reevaluate; possibly a waste of 3K CR, if you budget building just spend 1500 more.)
Height Adjustable suspension (good to great; can offer matched performance on lower HP setups to a full suspension)
Fully Customizable suspension (great to "wait, you did what?!"; if it doesn't work then it's probably something you did)
