Default Re: 415 understeer

Hi everyone...must say a great 415 forum going on here!!

I was wondering if anyone can give me a few tips to dial out corner entry understeer and improve initial steering response/turn in. I'm running on tarmac but its quite tight and not a huge amount of grip. Currently running -
Springs - Blue F 45w ,Yell rear 35w
No spacer under front or rear axle bars
Shock pos 1 Front pos 4 rear
2.5 toe in rear and 0.5 toe out front
One way front diff
C1 hub on left C2 on right
Std 4deg castor
CS22 tyres.

Any help would be appreciated and sorry if the information above is a bit vague.
Cheers,
Neal.
Hi Neal,

You might want to try...
* changing the ackerman - if you connect the steering tie rod to the hole closest to the front of the chassis, this will provide more steering response
* Shortening the Wheelbase
* going to a blue spring in the rear and standing up the front and rear springs. I don't know which position is 1 or 4 so I am not sure where you are running the shocks.
* If you increase the rear droop this will give you a quicker turn in response when off power.

Hope this helps.
