[QUOTE="MRMIC2, post: 175815, member: 2637"] Hello Aeroz, You seem to be a dillema here....hope I can help. The MR2 has a natural tendency to oversteer as most of it's weight is situated at the rear.Weight distribution is 42%:58% (Front/Rear)hence the tendency to oversteer. To cure oversteering problem,you'd need to shift your weight forward(i think it's the CG - Center of Gravity).You can do this by lowering your front or by raising your rear,whichever u choose.This will shift weight forward and give u a more balanced car.I shifted my car's weight by using larger diameter tyres at the rear(would shift the reading of the speedometer) and also by playing around with the height of the adjustable-height absorbers. Car setup is very subjective...depending on the driver and usage. In Autocross you will need more oversteer to help tighten the cornering radius as the SW20 MR2 is quite long and the turning circle would be rather large compared to smaller vehicles. In large track settings(like Sepang),slight understeer woul benefit most people as the fronts will start to slip earlier and let you know before you loose grip on all tires and spinning out(hehe). ;) Stiff suspension is not always better. ;) In a track environment you will have to be as smooth as possible and not cause sudden weight shifts.Enter a corner as stable as possible and try to use the heel & toe technique to maintain proper balance. :) Hope this helps....lots of other sifus out there like prophecy,porosaki etc. who'd be able to teach u more.. :) I choose the MR2 as my gymkhana weapon ;) [/QUOTE]
