Harder in the rear will promote oversteer as the ass can't drop to transfer wait and hard front will promote understeer. To find the best settings put both front and back to half way between full hard and full soft and take the car for a run on a good bit of road you know. Then take 1/4 turn off front and run again. Then put back to half on front and drop back 1/4 turn. See which is better. Then keep playing going the way that it was improving until it gets too a point were you do not think it is getting better. Take note of how far up or down the front or rear is and keep that setting difference no matter how you run it. Forinstance you might find that 1/4 turn softer front to rear is the best setting. On the road you may want it soft so set front to full soft and rar 1/4 turn hard. But on the track you want firmer, set front I turn up and rear 1 1/4 turns up. This way you hold the balance but reset how stiff you want it.

It would be best to run this on a track but if you can't you can play on the road, just keep it sensible. Remember if you are going all out you cannot truly feel the car as well as you can on 8/10ths.

Dont forget too get your tyre pressures set equal before you start.
