Since I am so boring at saturday nite. Let me entertain u.

I assume your car setting is very good dy, just need better.

U have to understand, wat tire you are using,the best speed in conner is rubber base tire. Try hardest insert. This is the best combination for attack Conner. Beware, hard insert only works well in flat racing track surface, and easy to overheat. I think u can try medium.

1)Try droop front 6 and rear 5. Do u have measure droop thing?
You will see the different. If not enough,do the following.

2) rise your roll center. Try put shim under suspension block. 1 mm will do. Lagi tak cukup?


3) do check the chamber rise.dun rise so much. Try it 1 by 1.

4) if u not play in track, try narrow your car width, front max narrow, rear can tray max, if buang, add shim at rear.

droop is the car Arm travel limiter

ride height is your chassis distance with the track surface.....

KS Chu is right... find those setup sheets setup by pro drivers, try them out and see which of those setup suits your driving.. plus you also need to find your racing lines and find out where and when to let go, hold or punch the throttle..all this are based on your instict and feeling when you are driving. When you got all these your driving will improve and of course you will master the corners with ease depending on the track.. do also take the track condition and surface temp into a count coz all these will effect your tires hence will also effect your driving.. you must get the right setup, the right way of driving and self response to get the combo right.
