All fwd cars tend to-mid corner understeer, its in their nature imo.
And there are as many tuning tips as there are drivers, but here is my tips.
This tune might set to B-Class and the back end is a bit loose, but not too much imo
Differential acceleration to 35%-55%, i use 50%
Differential deceleration to 9%-11%, i use 10%
If differential acceleration is set too low, it doesnt deliver the power needed to both front wheels and you even loose grip.
ARB´s 10,5 at front and 13,5 at rear
Springs comes to preferences, i have been using very soft rates but it makes the car feel like its flying or sumthing
But nowdays i use harder springs. Try some different sets, generally id use softer front springs but that might make your back end too loose. But it adds some grip to front.
Shocks are important. But here is my formula i use as a base tune to all my fwd cars:
Front rebound- 8,5
Rear rebound- 10
Front bump stiff- 3,2
Rear bump stiff-3,8
These affect your over/understeer behavior, you might try out higher rear rebound than front rebound for a bit understeer.
Toe adjustments comes to preferences.
I use a mild toe out in front (+0,2 or 0,3)
And usually toe in at rear (-0,1) or more negative depending if the back end is very loose
Caster around 2 or 3
BUT, having a rear biased shocks and arbs in fwd car adds grip to the front
I have driven fwd cars for the whole time i have been in the touge, for about a year and half now
