    Bit of information needed here.

    Is it true that having a Fully Customisable Suspension Kit & LSD can make you car handle much better, especially around corners ?

    In the past day I've being given two cars, (Alfa 8C and CLK touring) and I was shocked at how well they handled, especially the 8C which I'm sure has being adjusted a bit.

    I know the touring cars are expected to handle well so before anyone tells me I already know.

    I have a few cars here that I would love to be able to handle better. A 2007 Impreza, Skyline R34 and an M5. There are more but these main three for the moment.

    Any help ?

    yeah some cars are just a bitch to drive without doing the adjustments, i didnt do any at all on the CLK, also some cars can have aero parts added in the GTauto shop, they add downforce and can dramatically improve the handling

    I never actually looked to see if anything was done to it, i just assumed as it handled to well. I wonder how good it would be if it was modified :D

    Usually I couldn't be arsed but I do want to make sure that this Skyline that I want to use for a 300k endurance will be fun to drive.

    takes a fair bit of work to fine tune per track but yeah, it can assist you, a fine example of this is doing the Grand turismo rally, the gravel track, with a light rwd car and no aids whatsoever, do it stock, then put in race/sport suspention and a lsd, do it then take that load out then just knock up the power like most do.


    you'll be surprized...

    I found this http://www.gt5-tuning.com/index.php?title=Category:Models
    handy for tuning the cars listed. I still might do some minor changes myself but its a good start & its the best Ive found so far.

    I end up coming across the tuning forum over at GT Planet and have found it to be a great help.

    So far I've found this crowed to be one of the best for tuning.
