i like to tune my impreza to be handling better in corners

Thanks all
 
What power/weight/tyres are you on? Also LSD and gearing if you've set them.

EDIT: I've had a look at a stock car with your suspension settings. It does indeed understeer a lot. I'll try to get a full tune sorted but I'm away from my PS for a few days.

As a rough piece of advice, I think your rear camber is giving a lot of rear grip, and the front can't keep up, thus understeer. I'd actually try F2.5/R1.5 as this improved turn in for me.

On the nurb, you might want to try softer springs and higher ride height all around, as it's a very bumpy track and you can lose compliance and grip easily, especially over the curbs.

Give this a try mate. If you're running huge power mods and/or racing tyres then it'll need some tweaks, especially the differentials.

For stock gearbox, shift @7500 rpm
