| Setting | Recommendation | Why? | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Tires | Street 90s (Stock) or Semi-Slicks (Mod) | The car doesn't generate enough heat for slicks on short runs. | | Tyre Pressure | F: 26 PSI / R: 24 PSI | Lower rear pressure increases mechanical grip for the driven wheels. | | Suspension | Ride Height: -10mm (F+R) | Lowers the center of gravity without bottoming out. | | Anti-Roll Bars | F: 2 / R: 4 | Stiffening the rear bar induces slight rotation on corner entry. | | Camber | F: -2.5° / R: -1.5° | Preserves the outer tire edge during hard cornering. | | TCS/ABS | Factory (ABS: On / TCS: Off) | The real car had excellent ABS. Use it. TCS kills the fun. |
