yea, i'm always on the super softs. and yes, the GD chassis is that much stiffer in the game.

i tried using the GC in the beginning then i went to the GD, and OMG it was so easy to change directions.

Exactly... I still have a GC STI wagon that I played with. It fast but its a ***** to drive and usually not too much fun. The GD is just more neutral and compliant.

I'm learning alot about the game because of this. It's made it a lot more fun. I don't fall asleep while playing anymore. Got to concentrate.

you know, i haven't been changing the settings much. just the basics, lower car, stiffen suspension, full downforce f/r, a little more front brake bias, and adjust gear ratios according to top speed for the track.

I start with one of the "original" suspension kits, increase front camber a bit, stiffen up the rear sway, turn off all the driving aids, and adjust gearing appropriately. Haven't really played with the setup much yet.

Only one of my cars has downforce...just can't stand those damn wing selections. As far as brakes, I don't buy the brake controller because I don't like the way it feels, and I'm too lazy to play with different settings. I'd rather spend that time on suspension.

Not a fan of the "original" suspension...I like having the option of full ajustability. Now the "original" turbos...that's another story

As far as gearing, I just change the number at the bottom. For example, when I drive The Ring in my STi Ver VIII, it's set at 15. No need to fiddle with individual gears.

There's plenty of adjustability in the original suspensions... just as much as in anything else I believe. The difference is that it comes set up better out of the box than the full adjustable race setup. At least that's my take on it.

The original turbo's are the way to go for sure



BTW.... I re-claimed Tsukuba!

So... I guess we pretty much agree that the Spec C and the 22B are okay to use right? I kind of want to see other cars in the line-up though. All I see is the Spec C on the podiums.
