Making Forza Motorsports understandable as 1-2-3
Stiff Front Springs:
-
Under braking the load of the car will be able to handle the weight of the engine better. Making it too stiff doesn't allow the weight to travel forward and increases braking distance.
Soft Rear Springs:
-
Under acceleration softer rear springs will allow the car to transition the power to the rear wheels.
Stiff Anti-Roll Bars:
-
Stiffer anti roll bars transfer less weight and are less responsive to turn-in when under load. Under-steer can become more prevalent when turning.
​
Soft Anti-Roll Bars:
-
Softer anti roll bars transfer more weight are more responsive to weight load. Over-steer can become more prevalent when turning.
Stiff Rebound Stiffness:
-
A stiff setting will not allow the spring to do it's job of dispersing energy from bumps and dips in the road, and in fact will transfer that energy to the body of the car.
-
Very rough and choppy, with the tires actually losing contact with the road in rough spots.
​
Soft Rebound Stiffness:
-
A Soft setting will allow the spring to move up and down too much, and cause the contact patches of the tires to change numerous times in a corner as the weight of the car pitches around without being controlled.
Rebound Stiffness:
-
What ever setting you find is comfortable for your rebound, your bump should be anywhere between 50% and 75% of that setting.
