I'd like to see PD make an improvement on the suspension setup options. Mainly, being able to setup each tire separately (camber, toe, etc) and maybe even tire pressures. Very useful for proper suspension tuning for NASCAR cars. Anyone with me on this idea.
 
While I do agree, this might require some overhaul of the physics to work.

Suspension is already pretty wonky as is, so I don't know if adding these feature to the current physics model would even prove realistic.

PD could drastically change GT5's physics, but then all the special events and license tests no longer make sense (but they could also make the game switch physics between special events, licenses tests, and racing, but that again might kind of spoil things. Especially for licenses which are supposed to be learning aids).

Also, you should probably start a Feedback request, like I did in the transmission topic [shameless advertising].
 
Tire pressure alone would be a massive step. It would add another degree of depth to tuning in the game.
 
I actually wondered about this when I saw Stock cars in GT5, I knew that these cars tend to have greater camber on the left side as opposed to the right. Well these days I think with the better suspensions and track changes they don't run high camber settings anymore, tires are pretty damn wide on these cars. Wonder if PD thought about including this but left on the back burner for some reason?

Tire pressures should be added as we do have temperature variations on tracks and the weather enabled courses tend to have varying temps throughout the race. What I really want to see is air temp really having effects on turbos, so cold morning runs in a turbo RX7 you would get quicker power boost as opposed to warmer air during the later morning or midday.
