Need feedback on my Alps tune

Hey guys. Recently, I’ve started using the Rivals mode to actually attempt to set decent times. However, I’m only an average tuner. My 2003 Toyota Celica has gotten me just within the top 500 on the 2 alps variants I lapped. I didn’t put a huge amount of time into lapping, so I might be able to get better, but my poor driving could be part of the problem. I had to put a bit of front downforce to help with the understeer inherent with FWD cars. I’d appreciate any feedback on my tune, which is published under my gamertag (Eternal Embers). I have the numbers of the tune below.

I used the damping settings of Raceboy77 so credit to him for that :slight_smile:

Tires
Front - 28
Rear - 28

Gearing - 5.00 final drive, no changes to individual gears (I have the race transmission though)

Alignment
Camber
Front - -4.0
Rear - -.5
Toe (I know this can be improved, I kind of improvised. No idea if these settings work/are effective)
Front - .4
Rear - .3
Castor - 6.0

ARB’s
Front - 9.32
Rear - 11.81

Springs
Front - 385.7
Rear - 504.3

Ride Height (Tried to make it to bottom out at the bottom of the hills at Alps - failed)
Front - 5.1
Rear - 5.1

Damping
Rebound
Front - 11.7
Rear - 11.7
Bump
Front - 1.9
Rear - 1.9

Aero (Used a lot on the front)
Front - 85
Rear - 100

Brake
Balance - 47% (might need some adjustments?)
Force - 175%

Differential
Front - 80%
Rear - 0%

NOTE: If you come across my other tunes, please ignore them. They are one and dones I made for career a while ago, and may be published for some reason.

FWD cars don’t inherently understeer. If set up properly they will often corner faster than RWD. What is the weight distribution of the car? The spring bias looks a bit back-to-front. I would also run at least twice the ARB stiffness you have but I’m sure someone else would argue the opposite. From the look of it I would imagine the thing has a tendency to plough in corners.

Hmmm, I might try to stiffen up the ARB’s and change around the damping. It does have a tendency to push in corners, but personally, as long as I can still hold a good line through the turn, I prefer the push to help keep it stable (I usually prefer softer cars). That may be the reason its not turning as well though. Thanks for the feedback.
