The suspension works well with any stage of engine tune. It's very balanced and neutral. It will actually take some work, or you'd have to be really crazy, to get this car to spin out. The gearing works well with Turbo Stage 2, it might be a little long for the other engine tunes, I didn't touch the Auto Set. Can lap consistently in the 1:17s at Laguna Seca. And can lap consistently in the 1:46s at Grand Valley Speedway.

Thanks Michael, your setup really helped me to keep the car between the lines. Got me through the Elise trophy and onto 85% completion. Does the same concept of higher spring ratios and higher LSD settings work the same for other MRs? I'm looking at getting a little more control over the GT40 Race Car so I can keep it on the blacktop too. I just can't get used to a car with that much oversteer, driving like an angry dog who wants to sniff everything along the way... :D It's the GT40 that's holding me back from my Super License!

You're welcome. I haven't touched this game in a long time. Yeah, you can use something similar for other MRs. If there's still too much oversteer you can try lowering the setting for the rear stabilizer, or lower the rear spring rate. Increasing rear downforce probably makes the biggest difference if it's adjustable.
