    Hi,
    I am trying to get the oversteer out of the bmw m8, I don't drive it because of the oversteer.
    I am trying to get the oversteer out so I can drive it, I can control it but there is no tolerance, I
    have to be just right all the time to keep from spinning.
    Any tips on the setup with this car, it wants to oversteer on high speed in corners and mid
    speed off corners, on and off the accelerator.
    I have tried quite a few changes with the setup, just when I think I have found it, I go for a spin!:eek:
    Thanks for any help,
    Steve

    After using my head I have found my answer myself.
    If you are having the same problem with this car the idea is whatever you have your rear ride
    height set at, set your front ride height higher than that, not the same height, higher.

    there are probably dozen other ways to shift grip balance rearwards, but if it works, it works...

    Isn't there simply aero "wing" options ?

    @SteveMack If you exaggerate it, the Front can get negative Downforce and in the worst Case, the Car flips Backwards then.
    As seen in real Life here for Example:

    The Flip can be made easily.
    The Problem is the Height of the Flight. :D
