You can't simply teach it like a block of knowledge, since what needs to be done will vary widely by car and track. If you are looking for general pointers, just read through the threads on this board. You may then understand why choices are made and what effects are. We can teach you some of it but we can't actually put it into your brain without some effort on your part.

Look for posts on this board by sukerkin and ///M-Spec.

Each of us has "magic" settings we start with, that have proven to be quite useful for us. We then tun from there.
I will on occassion use the stock set-up and drive the car as a test, but I usually end up at my "magic" settings, then fine tune from there.
I may or may not change the spring rates
Ride hieght to 5-10 mm from the lowest and raise the rear another five.
bound at 5/5
rebound at 7/7
Camber at 3.0/1.0
Toe at 0/0
Stabilizers at 4/4
Brakes at 20/15
LSD 10/30/10
From there I evaluate the cars handling and tweak from there.
Hope this helps.
Also, remember that most cars in this game have a fine line as far as horsepower.
For instance, I am faster with a 500 HP Supra, than a 1000HP Supra.

I just dont know how to set all the settings for the spring rate and stuff like that.

The best advice I can give you is to turn off the asm and lower the traction controll to 3 or less.
Learn how to set up your gearbox and buy the full custom trans for any seriouse racing.

before you enter a race there is an option that says settings. go there, then go down past "change parts" to "settings" and change your sewttings

VING has told you how to physically do it. Gil has given you a basic setup. I've told you where to find information.

Are we supposed to come to your house and do it for you? Read through a lot of threads on this board and listen to what people say.

New is one thing, but lazy is another. In your first post, you showed that you hadn't even bothered to look at all and expected someone to give you everything in a little package. So instead, several people tried to give you some information and show you where to look for more.

In your second post, you asked again for everything to be spelled out for you in simple words and showed no evidence that you had looked for anything yourself yet. So that's why I said what I did.

The information is here. You need to help yourself a little if you expect others to help you. I'm glad that doing some research has helped you learn something.
