Apparently not may ppl made FF tunes; can probably blame GTS and its downright painful FF handling model.
I do have a tune for the FK8, but its still a wip

Hey man I have a decent acura tune. Not the fastest but hits corners hard and fast, with control.

I see a few around for low PP Hondas, but that's about it. Looking to tune up a Focus ST and new Civic Type R into the ~600pp range and SS tires. Any tips to make them not feel so darty?
Try some of the following to decrease turn-in so the car will not feel as darty. I'll list them in order on effectiveness from biggest to smallest change. You don't need to do all of them unless you want to fine-tune your setup. However, you can also try these changes from the bottom up to not make big adjustments.
  1. Stiffen the front springs
  2. Reduce the angle of the ride height (e.g. if the car is 90F/110R, set it to 90F/100R. Or even a negative rake as seen in NAVE 15x's screenshot)
  3. Stiffen the front dampers
    1. Increase the expansion if the car dives too much under braking
    2. Increasing the compression will make the front stiffer overall (yet smaller change than stiffening the springs)
  4. Stiffen the front roll-bar (if available. if not, then stick to springs and dampers).
  5. Reduce front camber (lower numbers)
  6. Set the front toe to zero, or even toe-in
As for the Civic Type R LE, I drove it a couple of days ago in stock form on SH tires and I wouldn't change much. I would install the racing suspension, copy the stock specs for everything except ride height, and front dampers (dives too much under braking). I wouldn't add too much more power to it either.
