Wow 90 weight. I thought my 60 was stiff.
I think I will just have to go to a Race, see what there car weighs, feel their susp, take a run on the track and go from there.

Determine what the car is doing, under/oversteer, how much body roll, does it buck over bumps, etc. Only then can you (or anyone else) determine what to do to get it where you want. So, what is it doing and what do you want it to do instead?
I hear you, although if there was under or oversteer I wouldn't know what to do for either one?
I just feel that the suspension could be a softer. I was at 60 front/rear and went to 40 and without driving it I know it's to soft so I'll try 50. Only way to figure out springs is to go feel some susp
Thank you

Rcuniverse doesn't really get me anywhere, seems really slow.

I'll try the others as well as largescaleforum. WOW What Detail even weather Specific Although I find it Odd that they dont say what the camber is Only what it is when pressed down.
