Change your camber to lean your tires in about 10 degrees(that's at the top of your tire), this should give you enough sacrifice in traction to help lean the weight properly in the turn and help get rid of the "too much grip" problem. You should be able to oversteer the turn, while still pulling through with AWD. Or you could run a harder and lower suspension in the front and softer in the rear. But adjusting your camber here would help also help. Your shorter gearing means you'll have better recovery from engine power loss, if you stupidly let your engine RPM drop. But more importantly get your practice in so you know your car.

Lol I figured I would get that response. I say 10 degrees so the car would be able to overcome the LSD grip in the middle of the turn, without too much speed. That way he could float the car through the tight turns without traction catching to soon. He would really have to throw the car into the tight turns with the AWD. But than again he doesn't want to lose too much in the turn for the front wheels of the EVO. So yeah, I guess 4 degrees in the front would be better, hmmmm maybe drop in down to 8 degrees in the back; I guess 10 would be a little much..... I'm assuming that he would be drifting through the tighter corners. Lol, and no I'm not saying drifting because I just saw the preview for the FF3 movie. How's this.... higher a professional driver.

haha do you have any idea how much 10 degrees of camber is? Thats MORE than a little much.
