Quick way of adjusting suspension and LSD (for ppl who don't have time)

Hi all,

I was wondering whether there is a non-time-consuming approach to adjust suspension and LSD, or at least some quicks wins / low hanging fruit.

I've read a couple of tutorials and threads regarding tuning these things, but they all sound very time consuming, with much trial-and-error, personal taste things, race-depending settings etc. Most of them say "start from here and work your way through until you are happy with a result". I don't have that much of time, unfortunately.

I don't need the perfect match, the sweet spot of tuning or anything, but wish to learn a couple of basic rules or recommendations for addressing a set of common problems such as under- or oversteering.

Something similar to these simple rules (that are also not perfect in every case but fit the vast majority of cases):
  • Against understeering, raise front downforce, lower front anti-roll, raise rear anti-roll, lower initial/acceleration torque
  • Against oversteering, raise rear downforce, raise front anti-roll, lower rear anti-roll, lower initial/acceleration torque
Can there be given similar basic recommendations regarding the other suspension settings and for the front/rear LSD of 4WD cars?

This, in general. Plus particularly I would be interested in a way of fighting oversteering apart from increasing rear downforces, when the latter should be kept as low as possible in order to gain top speed and/or help against tire wear.

Any hints are welcome :)

Great, that's a starting point. Thanks for the quick reply.

What about Front/rear torque settings on 4WD's? And what about suspension settings?

There's loads to read for that type of thing,
I recommend this page as one of the many resources out there.
