I can drift pretty well, but I think if I knew how to set up my suspension better I could get better a little faster. How do each of the adjustments affect the performance? Thanks for the help.
 
Rear spring rate should be softer. Front should have more negative camber. I keep stabilizers equal, but set according to spring rate.
 
With the spring rate, when you bump the setting over to the right does it stiffen the suspension or make it more loose?

correct me if i'm wrong guys,

but moving the slider to the right should make it stiffer,

so, if you stiffen the rear, it will carry more of the vehicles weight.
This is why battle-stage says the rear should be softer JimX. If the rear is softer, it takes weight off of the rear and places more of it over the front, resulting in a looser feeling vehicle.
 
This will really help. ESP Pergs faq. I dont think this question can be answered in one post. Well it can be, but i am not willing to write this essay as i once would have been...

To answer the above question it is easiest to remember that toe out is when the wheels are angled like so \ / when viewed from above and toe in is / \ when viewed from above. Then you take a look at the setting page for toe in and toe and and determine to your best benefit what gt3 calls a negative and positive angle... There are actually positive and negative signs on both sides of the wheels... Then you move a positive or negative value for that angle to result in either toe out or toe in ( which ever you were aiming for in the beginning. Make sense?
