Hi guys !

I need some help with the setup on my T4 16. It all happens on the Track in Luxemburg and the setup is based on the ETS setup 2015 from Alex Hagberg with some modifications due lack of some parts.

My problem is that the rear of the car is very nervous on and off throttle which makes it really hard to be fast on this track. I ordered new antiroll bars today. 1.3 for front and 1.2 for the rear. Does anybody have an idea how to make the car more stable ?

remove the screws from the motor mount and just run screw in 1, I find this gives a very stable rear
Change to body most people use an LTCR on asphalt, I had a GX and have hardly used it as it didn't inspire confidence
more rear toe in

By removing the screws from the motormount u mean all the screws except t3 and 4 from the manual ?

The rear pivot block inserts don't add up to 2.5deg, they are not central, but you haven't ticked the boxes for 1 or 0.5 either

Sorry i forgot to check them. All the inserts are 0,5. I updated the Setup sheet aswell

Ok, that will be less than 2.5 rear toe, more like 2.2 on gauges.
Try putting one of them to kit blocks and see if that helps make the rear more stable.
Whilst I can run 2deg rear toe I find it makes it harder to go on power out of the corners, so a little bit more rear toe might help you.

Ok Got it ! What about the camber settings ? I heard it would be better to run 1,5 in the fromt and 2 in the rear ? what do u think ?

Hello. Looking your setup I will try change the downstops to 5.5 front and 4.5 rear. Then change the rear shock positions to the 2 position.
I think your oversteed is caused by using higher position in the front shocks than the rear: lateral grip is reduced in the rear into the corner (entry, during and exit), even more imporant during and in the exit, because is where more weight is transfered.
I hope this help ;-)
