iam having trouble with my cars handling.
i race on a tight low bite ashphelt track.
iam using cs27 with medium inserts and lrp traction additive.
cars set-up
front/back
springs;yellow/yellow
shock oil;35/40
shock position on mount;inner/2nd one in from outer
shock position on wishbone;outer/outer
spacers under top link;7mm/0mm
wheelbase;fully back/fully back
toe;2 degrees out/c-d
camber;-1.5/-1
double one ways

the trouble is the car understeers on kit settings or even with other peoples settings.
could this be due to drag brakes?
i use no drag brake bt maybe just a tiny bit would help the understeer?
the cars netral with this set up but it shouldnt be like this.
any help would be gratefull.
My observations:

1. front shocks should stand up more for tight tracks for more steering response.
2. less suspension link spacers in front will lower your roll center and improve steering. Stock is only 4mm
3. 2 degree toe out might compensate for lack of initial steering response but it will make your car understeer in mid corner and exit on power.
4. double one-ways? does that mean you are running one way in the rear or center?
