Need a little bit of assistance. I am just wondering what adjustment I need to make if when I hit the acceleration coming out of a corner and the tires start to spin. I am thinking I need to start working on the rear springs but wanted to make sure. Also the car seems to be under-steering a bit and I think I read that the Anti Roll bar need to be adjust to correct that(is that correct). Sorry I have been off Forza for some time and trying to get back into the tuning side of things.
Well, if you have TCS off, that’s a matter of throttle management. If you turn it on, try adjusting your differential and/or alignment. Go to springs next if neither of those work. Also make sure your build is sound before assuming anything is amiss with the tuning settings.
It may not even be your tune the problem, it may be your throttle control. Also if you provide more information such as what car, track and your settings (tune) people here will give you good advice.
Car is Audi TTS Coupe and see my part list below. This is for a league i’ve entered . Please let me know if you need my spring rate & arb setting. Car is also RWD and all ASSIST are turned off

The only way you’re going to get the power oversteer under control is to go back to AWD. 535 horsepower at 2300 lbs with 285s is going to be a handful, particularly in a car that short.
You can fiddle with the differential setting, spring rates, and tire pressures all you want and you’re still going to need to be careful in the lower gears.
Usually if I have a power oversteer issue the first thing I adjust is the tire pressure, as in I lower it in the rear. Next I add negative camber to see if that has an effect. After that I’ll remove a touch of rear bump or front rebound to see if settling the suspension more quickly helps. Only then do I move on to the differential and spring rates (I consider swaybar stiffness to be a part of this).
If it came AWD you should probably leave it like that. Surely you can find an RWD car that will run circles around the TT S. Let me rephrase that, you can definitely find a better RWD car. You may be the first person I’ve seen do that. It usually goes the other way around. I like your style though, thinking way outside of the box. So, what is it, S class…just so happens that I shared an S class Ford GT40 tonite. RWD and pretty flippin fast for a 50 year old car. It’s geared for the bigger speed type tracks but if you d/l it and like it…send me a message on xbox and ill set one up with lower gears
Thanks Guys for all your suggestions. This was the car I picked from the option I had to choose. I will probably select another car the next chance I have. I really didn’t do my testing with the cars but i will hopefully have time on my had for the next go round.
Short shifting is another option ie changing up a gear slightly before you would normally. I’ve found this a big help on tight 2nd gear corners.
In tuning terms I’ve had little success in tuning out wheelspin in powerful RWD cars except for slight improvements when adjusting the accel diff as suggested above
Usually swapping awd to rwd = really twitchy car. If you want the car to feel like rwd, under your differential settings, move the power to 70-80% to rear.
I’m not a great tuner - I just doing it for me now.
But this is what I do- I got the lambo rivals on my own to a 2:00.4 by doing this
I wanted it to have more rwd feel for turn in, and the ability to use throttle to turn the front and I ended up at 80% to the rear.
I think it’s a nice way to leave the car awd and get a more rwd feel
But feel free to not agree with me. But to see swerve suggesting makes me feel like I was on the right path
If it makes the OP feel any better, I built this car into a pretty decent drifter. Or, I think I did as I’m not a very decent drifter at all but it’ll hold a pretty good slide usually until I do something wrong and watch my 5000 or so points get taken away. I couldnt be a serious drifter for that reason alone. The game is not sympathetic to your one wheel dipping off the track even when you just pulled a 5-6,000 point drift. I just do it in rivals when I get a message someone beat my score. Even I have enough pride not to do it in front of witnesses.
