Tuning advice for AWD grip cars?

[MDK_217]

For what ever strange reason, I've built an AWD RB26 swapped AE86. I was able to tune it just enough to take corners decently, but it still understeers. Any tuning advice for tuning AWD grip cars for maximum handling?

stiffer rear springs, slightly stiffer front springs, more pressure on rear tires, more weight distribution to the front, some more camber on the front, more negative caster angle, no downforce on rear, full downforce on front, 55-60% rear brake bias, racing+ 10 tires at least on the front, higher wheel offset, lowest possible center of mass height, mild front stabilizer, slightly increased ackermann, max possible steering angle without losing grip.

Just a correction: rear stabilizer should be increased, not decreased. It reduces grip at the rear end and gives it to the front end. More grip on front end = less understeer.

You are fully correct, I mixed that up. Thanks.

Thanks! My setup grips better now.

You can for the most part follow real life chassis tuning advice.
The game is really good for responding to changes like a real car would.

But a lot of cars with the elite suspension package seem to actually be set up too stiff, loosening them up a bit actually helps a ton with turn in.
