Can’t give you general setups for tarmac gravel and snow, the stages are different, on some tarmac stages you need to have an aggressive deep hard set up like some German stages on the other hand you need an fluffy soft set up for an bumpy French state, on gravel the setups between Mexico and Australia are sooo different, that no one could give you an generally set up...

How well does that video apply to sims?

As well as a video about the top 10 best tips to pick up girls. Does it actually work? Who knows, but might as well try.

Lol thanks man!

these are the setups I use.. Probably not perfect as the extreme drivers would like to be, but since on many stages I am in the top 30, may be they have some values. It depends as well on your driving style.

the thing is that you have different gravel type on stages, some really bumpy like argentina (el condor) or smoother like portugal. The same for tarmac..huge difference between corsica and catalunya. So what you may want to keep in mind is the following.

On bumpy roads
front Suspension always softer than rear one, but in the range of 30000 to 34000 at front. Add 2000 for the rear.

on smooth /rather flat like portugal, australia, I put them at around 44000 to 49000
Dumpers: I have them in all conditions around 6500 to 7500. 7500 on stages in finland in particular. It avoids the car to bounce and hit the road with the nose.
Stabilising bar : front at 3000 and rear at 6500: This allows necessary oversteer and reduce the tendency of the car to go off road at the exit of a turn.

Diff: front always at 1.04 to 1.08 to keep traction and increase oversteer
Rear at around 1.20 to 1.26

Height of the car depends of the road. always higher at the back by 0.02 units.
Portugal: front at 0.26 suspension at 44000
Finland front at 0.28 to 0.33, suspension at 33000
Catalunya: 0.25 suspension at 42000 on gravel and height at 0.22 , suspension 57000 on tarmac stage
Argentina: On smooth stages 0.28, suspension at 43000. For el condor 0.31 suspension at 35000
Corsica: althougth it is tarmac, I put soft suspensions at 32000 and height at 0.27.

sweden: height at 0.27 and suspension stiffer at 47000.
Monaco is difficult to set up: It is flat with some traps. I put height at 0.23 and suspension at 45000 ...but mistakes are not allowed.

Gear box: lots of turns (corsica, monaco) put 170 or 180
Amboy argentina, germany, australia where you have a few top speed areas, you can use 200
the rest at 190.

Brakes: to adjust the handbrake, take a few hairpin, using handbrake (short pressure on the wheel and throttle before the apex of the turn). If you car spin too much, your handbrake is too hard. If your car goes off road, it is not tough enough. I use generally around 2000.
Hope it helps , although not complete set up description.

Thanks man!!!! This was what i whanted!

Thanks!

Edit: the formatting of my post got a bit screwed up, sorry. Wanted to say thanks for the good setup tip, helps a lot. I wish more people would contribute their car settings, it'd be a big improvement to this discussion board.

Edit 2: the formatting of my post got a bit screwed up, sorry. Wanted to say thanks for the good setup tip, helps a lot. I wish more people would contribute their car settings, it'd be a big improvement to this discussion board. I usually use 32000 or 38000, 1500 or 2500 on compression, and 3500, 4500, or 550 on rebound, then anti-roll bar at either 1000 or 5500 depending on the track. Front diff lock at 1.40 and rear at 1.50, gear ratio anywhere from 170 to 190, brake strength at 2800, handbrake strength at 3200 and brake bias at either 40 or 70 depending on what track. Cheers!
