• 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.
