I like my cars to be just on the edge of oversteer. Not because I need to be pushing that hard, but because it's SO much more fun than backing off the throttle just to get the bugger to turn.

So basically, whenever possible I stiffen up the rear springs and stabilizers a bit and bias the camber towards front end grip.

Dampers I adjust based on the weight of the vehicle, higher values for heavier cars, up to about 5.

my set-up is like a total balance for off-road and on-road... sand and asphalt... like a rally car...

I've got a good setting. I believe it's called something like "YOU ARE LIVING IN 1998. GT3 HAS NOW HIT STORES AROUND THE WORLD".
