> It has to be solid, minimal body roll and consistent, so you know what to expect. **On fwd I want it to understeer slightly, just enough to be correctable with a throttle tap.** There does have to be some give to the suspension though, rock hard feels like it’s not working, plus transferring the energy into the chassis takes some stress off the tires so they grip better. A well balanced car focuses forces toward the center, that’s kind of the point of placing weights too. At least that’s my opinion, it really is a matter of what gives the driver more confidence. So it would be a balance between what they are familiar with and a “perfect” setup I guess…

This makes no sense to me.
