Change:

Rear toe from -0.20 to +0.20 and rear ride height from -10 to "0".

Maybe soften the rear spring by 1.0 also.

This will help, but won't be a magic cure. I can't get onto my Ps3 at the moment so I can't see any setting for the 905 to advise more acurate settings, so these are just basic / general things that'll help rear grip..

The above may cause a little understeer at the front, though. This is a common side affect of making the rear more "planted".

Also, look at the advice Motor city Hami and Adrenaline are giving another member in this thread:

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=251302

This will also help control wheelspin.

At Spa, sometime a car can "loose" it on certain downhill braking corner entries, so possibly runng rear dampers 7 ext / 4 comp might help - but it all depends where you're loosing the rear end i.e. what corner, corner entry / apex / exit??

The more info you can give the more accurate the guys here can be with a solution

I can't guarantee these will fix hhe problems, these are just guestimated "usual" things that help generally.

I also have a pretty good setup in the TT thread.

Peaple seem to be having pretty good success with it. Car is also on share if you would like to try it. FR cargorat323.

Is the camber okay for grip you reckon ? And thankyou for the tips testing now

I have just used the setup at the bottom in the link and just set a 1:54.742 and still can go much faster i changed the rear sr to 11.7 and rear extension to 4 try that

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Yea, camber is fine. Too much and the car is unstable on the straighter parts of the track. Tried your changes and they seem good. Just loosened the car up a bit and made it turn a little better. Good change. Thanks.

Can't argue with your time but with these setting, car feels alittle too unstable for me. Comes down to driving styles I suppose. I get closer to improving with my tune. I'm just going to concentrate on driving now, pretty much done with the tuning.

Try 9.7 on rear springrate

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Tried it, didn't work for me. I'm just going to stick to my original set as switching settings is not getting me anywhere as I keep having to re-adapt to the cars handling characteristics after each change. I got the handling down, its my shift points I need to get right.

 

[jacky49]

Using kb18 905 tune and front camber 2.5 i hope to go top 10..but my accel pedal now sticking! Argggh !!!!
