This may be a oddballish question...

Alright now for a FF or MR vehicle, do you stiffen the Spring rate so that reducing bumps will help the acceleration of the vehicle? Please help. I'm kinda stuck in a rift altough I just sort of Saved those pages for future reference. Thanks again to all of you. Also, If any of you (And I do mean any of you) have near perfect Settings for an NSX And A supra, PLEEASE E-mail them to me. I need all the help that I can get. Thanks.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by the question.

In an FF car, you want to stiffen the rear and soften the front in general. The default spring rates in GT3 are moderately low, so for springs you probably just want to stiffen the rear and leave the fronts alone. Then you want to stiffen the rear dampers (higher bound and rebound numbers) in order to keep the weight planted on the front as much as possible during acceleration.

For an MR car, static weight distribution is much more even. Plus, since it's RWD, you don't mind a little weight settling to the rear under acceleration. However, you don't want too much because that will promote throttle-on understeer, so it's best to keep the damper settings fairly even fron to back.
