Note: FR cars have a natural tendency toward oversteer versus understeer, especially under throttle, because the rear wheels handle power. This makes them more fun and controllable at the limit compared to FF cars but requires proper technique to manage. With the right setup and smooth inputs, oversteer can be controlled or even used advantageously in performance driving.

Fixes

​

Entry Phase Oversteer:

• slightly soften front springs (to reduce sudden weight shift to the front)

• slightly stiffen rear springs (to keep the rear more stable under braking)

• soften front ARB (to reduce front end grip and balance the car)

• slightly stiffen rear ARB if rear feels too soft

• increase front rebound damping (to slow weight transfer to the front, preventing the rear getting too light)

• decrease rear compression damping (so the rear doesn't compress too quickly under braking

• reduce front negative camber to reduce turn in sharpness

• increase rear negative camber to improve rear grip

• increase rear aero (to improve rear stability)

​

Mid Corner (Apex) Oversteer:

• softer rear springs (to increase rear grip)

• stiffen front springs (to prevent excessive front-end grip)

• soften rear ARB to allow the rear to stay planted

• stiffen the front ARB (to reduce front end rotation)

• increase front compression damping (to prevent the front from diving)

• decrease rear rebound damping (to allow the rear to stay settled and avoid excessive weight shift)

• increase rear negative camber (to increase rear grip)

• decrease front negative camber slightly (to reduce front grip)

• increase rear aero to improve stability

• reduce front aero if the front is too aggressive

​

Exit Oversteer (Power Oversteer):

• soften rear springs (to allow better power transfer without breaking traction)

• slightly stiffen front springs (to shift some grip balance forward)

• soften the rear ARB (to reduce the tendency for the rear to break loose under power)

• stiffen the front ARB slightly to prevent the front from lifting

• increase rear compression damping (to control rear squat under acceleration)

• increase rear rebound damping (to keep the rear stable and prevent excessive weight transfer)

• increase rear negative camber to improve grip during acceleration

• keep front camber balanced to maintain overall stability.

• increase rear aero to keep the rear planted under power

• reduce front aero slightly if necessary to balance out the car.
