Default Handling questions

When going from stock to Modified on carpet-its customary to soften up the car a bit.

When you soften-up the center shock spring and lighten the oil this should slow weight transfer to front giveing an easier to drive car and also more steering later in corner?


I ran mod this weekend and tried going stiffer and softer and I think I overdid it both ways-so didnt really come away with a great balance in handling.

When I ran a stiff center spring and heavy oil I had lost a lot of steering in middle of corner. When I went really soft spring and oil-I found car to be very inconsistent and even squirelly coming out of corners. I think it might have been so soft it was bottoming out.

Just curious. WOluld someone enlighten me?
