Rear chamber

[Sol_Badass]

This is the only setting I can't figure out yet. I assume it makes the car grip better in corners but lowers traction when going straight. One more thing, is it ever useful to add toe in to the front wheels? All It did was make really bad understeer.

I usually set rear camber around 2.0. It's usually a bit lower than the front one.

Toe on the front is very useful! It makes a bit difference for the handling if you use positive or negative toe. But it should be as little as possible, but very little values of 0.10-0.20 shouldn't cause understeer.

You should try to avoid anything that removes grip from any wheel.
+ toe in the front usually removes some front wheel grip, so I avoid it, if I have over-steer, I try to add rear grip, which is usually higher camber.

Of course when all else fails you do what needs doing, having xxx grip in the front is only useful if you can match it with xxx grip on the rear.

I'm sorry to bump this but I need to know one more thing. Do MR cars really benefit from a decent amount of rear chamber, or is that just GT5 help menu mythology?

Wouldn't you just spin out more easily on corner exit since the tire on the inside of the corner would cancel out the increased grip on the outside?

first of all its camber. All cars are different so just because its MR doesn't mean the set up will be the same as another MR car. Usually there is more front camber than rear, but how much really depends on the car

Hi Sol_Badass,
Here is some background reading which should help you understand what camber does in GT5: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=201492
