I've noticed that the two Suspension kits and Weight Reduction typically always produce the same results ...
Sports Suspension increases spring rates by 50% and decreases ride height to 83-85% of original ... i.e. 3.0 kg/mm to 4.5 kg/mm ... 150 mm to 125 mm ...
Semi-Racing Suspension increases spring rates by 80% ... i.e. 3.0 kg/mm to 5.4 kg/mm ...
Stage 1 Weight Reduction reduces weight to 98% (under 2732 lbs) or 95% (over 2732 lbs) of original weight
Stage 2 Weight Reduction reduces weight to 95% (under 2732 lbs) or 92% (over 2732 lbs) of original weight
Stage 3 Weight Reduction reduces weight to 92% (under 2732 lbs) or 89% (over 2732 lbs) of original weight
Racing Modification reduces weight to 89.1% (under 2732 lbs) or 85.4% (over 2732 lbs) of original weight
(Give or take a few pounds)
Example: Volkwagen Golf GTI 1.8T ... Stock - 2724 lbs ... Race Mod - 2429 lbs ... 2429/2724 = 89.17%
Nissan Silvia Spec R ... Stock - 2733 lbs ... Race Mod - 2332 lbs ... 2332/2733 = 85.33%
So, while the Silvia weighed 9 lbs more stock, because it's just barely above 2732 lbs, it ends up 97 lbs lighter when fully tuned ...
Also, if you're early in the game, a 2% drop in weight isn't going to do much, so invest in power/drivetrain/suspension/tires if you picked a car under 2732 lbs ... A weight reduction would have a much greater effect on say the '93 Supra Turbo (3417 lbs to ~3246 lbs) than it would on the '93 Miata (2160 to ~2117 lbs) ...
This holds true for every car I've tested ...
Anyone else discover any hard rules of GT2 ?
