Tuning Knowledge Base & Mechanical Principles

The classical GTVault suspension geometry, shock bound/rebound ratios, and differential tuning manual.

The Master Suspension Matrix

• Spring Rates (kg/mm): High front spring rates induce steady-state understeer. Stiffen rear to promote mid-corner rotation.

• Damper Bound vs Rebound: Rebound controls how rapidly the suspension extends. Setting rebound 2-3 points higher than bound controls chassis oscillation over curbs.

• LSD Acceleration Sensitivity: Low values (15-25) let the inside wheel spin slightly for rotation; high values (40+) provide maximum traction at the cost of exit understeer.
