• You do not always need to upgrade the tie
rods, dampers, and springs at the same
time. There may be driving conditions where
you only want to modify one at a time.
• Different combinations of tie rods and
springs will give you optimal driving
performance. The higher the degree, the
tighter the turning radius of the car.
• When upgrading your car, it is best to work
on a large, level workbench or table.
• To adjust for oversteering, use softer springs
in the front and stiffer springs in the rear.
To adjust for understeering, use stiffer
springs in the front and softer springs in the
rear.
