Hi, I'm having some problems with my car, perhaps you guys can shed some light on the situation.
-I started off with yellow springs all around, stock camber, 5mm droop rear 2mm in front. The car was oversteering very uncontrollably.
-Switched to white springs all around, increased front droop to 3mm approx and 2mm rear approx. A
little better.
-Tried white springs in front, blue in the rear, same droop. Got
worse (ie. more prone to spinning)!
-Add more negative rear camber (3.0mm of rod showing between connectors), front droop 2mm, rear 3mm approx. A
litte better.
- Finally, add more negative rear camber by reducing the length of the upper links by 0.5mm.
Now it understeers like a pig!!
Now here's my question: It seems that decreasing the length of the upper suspension link by 0.5mm has such a profound effect as to turn my car from an oversteering pig to an understeering pig. I'm very very puzzled.
Also, why would softer springs in the rear bring about more oversteering tendency?
The track is carpet, tires are Takeoffs. Oh, here's a pic
