Basic tunning Springs: By using a softer spring you will have more sag, more chassis roll/lean, more dive and a less responsive car this might be better on low-grip surfaces; by using a harder spring you have less sag, less body lean, less dive and a more responsive car. What to apply depends on driving style and grip-level surface. This is more suitable on high-grip surfaces.
Front camber: Using more negative camber in the front will give you more steering but also increases possible traction roll. Wheel-base length: A longer car will be more stabile and react slower, a shorter car will be more nervous and more direct. Wing angle: Rear camber: Using more negative camber in the rear will create more grip in the rear meaning also creating more understeer. The wing has to possible positions.
Maintenance Shockabsorbers - Check for smooth operation of the shockabsorbers, and check for airbubbles by pushing the shock up and down fast after removal of the spring. Clean the shockabsorbers as needed and refill with fresh 100% pure silicone oil as needed. Tyres - Replace tyres if case worn or damaged, and clean the surface in case dirty to obtain better grip. Wheel-axles and driveshafts - Remove the wheels, and check the wheel-axles, driveshafts and adaptors for dirt, play and pins.
