If even more front grip is needed, run less o.d. offset

Can also back off dual rate if it's too edgy up front, for a more balanced feel thru 8 mins

Heavier side springs, and side damper lube, camber, camber gain are helpful, but if you're happy with the feel, start with sauce, and tire offset first
Thanks. It's a scratchbuilt car running an old school front end and a damper tube/side-spring ball pivot rear-end.



I'm a little confused about side-spring and damper fluid at the moment, as the grip level is far higher than anything I've been used to before, and I'm having trouble coming to grips with where the tipping point is for the car diffing out. Sometimes it feels like I run a softer pod and I get more steering even when the car was settled, which is the opposite of my general understanding.
