SOLVED 2018X Stock Car Front Wheel Hop

Hi,
Seems that racing the road course setup on these 2018X Stock Cars I am getting front wheel hop while braking, I have gotten it down somewhat with stiffening the shocks, added spring rubbers, I basically done all that I can think of to get rid of it, I pretty much got rid of it in fast braking but braking while going slow into a slow corner I will still get a bad front hop, for example I was racing online at Bahrain and if you have raced there you would probably know the slow left corner there, I'm getting big time hop there.
Anybody else having this problem?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Steve
 
I don't know if it can be causing what your Problem is, but did you check, if the Setup is symmetrical?
In some Cases it doesn't seem to be, like shown on the below Screenshot (marked with a red Frame).
You can click the "connect" Icon (marked with a green Frame) to connect left and right, to ensure that the Settings are symmetrical.

I feel like an idiot now, I totally missed that, not paying attention!!!!
I have had rf2 long enough and should have caught that. o_O
That took care of the problem.
Thank You

It comes from a lack of experience with Oval racing. The setups are not natural to a road racer's eye. Users have to ensure the Road Courses are using a normal setup with the wheels both canted out at the bottom. For oval racing the inside tires are canted IN. (to help the car turn faster through the banked oval corners)

In this Case, it has nothing to do with a Lack of Experience.
Of course are Stock Cars or Cart Cars setup asymmetrical for Oval Races.
But when you select a Setup that is named as "Road Course/Short Track" in the Menu (Screenshot below), you don't expect an asymmetrical Setup.
If it was named "Oval Short Track" for Example, you would.
I think it simply is a forgotten Value, that wasn't made symmetrical for a Road Course, because it's only the Camber that is asymmetrical.
