Darty / nervous — twitchy and hard to hold straight
The car is over-reactive and wanders; it takes constant correction on the straight.
💡 The idea: Calm the front and stabilise the rear.
Try these in order
Make one change at a time and re-test — that's how you learn what your car likes.
-
1
Reduce front toe-out (or add a hair of toe-in on-road)
Less aggressive turn-in = calmer car.
-
2
More rear toe-in
Adds straight-line stability.
-
3
Thicker front shock oil
Slows steering response so it's smoother.
-
4
Dial in steering expo / reduce EPA on the radio
Softens centre steering feel.
-
5
Slightly longer wheelbase (if adjustable)
More stable at speed.
