Solutions to Handling Issues

Braking
Loss of Control

1. Move brake bias forward
2. Decrease slow damper

Front Tyres often lock
Move brake bias backward
Car pitches to much
Stiffen front springs
Nose hits floor

1. Increase ride height
2. Adjust bump stops
3. Stiffen front springs

Excessive locking
Reduce overall brake pressure (use with caution)
Turn in
Understeer
All Speeds:

1. Adjust front tyre pressures
2. Soften front anti-roll bar

When braking:
Move brake bias backward

Oversteer
All Speeds:

1. Adjust rear tyre pressure
2. Stiffen front anti-roll bar
3. Decrease front toe out
4. Stiffen diff coast locking
5. Soften front springs
