Learn how lowering ride height in Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec affects stability and how to adjust spring and shock rates to prevent bottoming out or excessive bouncing.
Walkthrough
- 1Lower the ride height to decrease the car's center of gravity, making it more stable.
- 2Slightly increase your spring rates uniformly to compensate for the reduced suspension travel.
- 3If you do not increase spring rates, you may bottom out and lose speed and handling over quick elevation changes or curbs.
- 4If your car bounces a lot after lowering it, increase the bound rate of the shock absorbers.
- 5The rebound rate of the shock absorbers can be harder, but setting it equal to the bound rate is a common practice.
- 6If your car is jumping (both front wheels coming off the ground over a curb), your suspension setup is likely too hard.
- 7Soften the springs and shocks a little to correct a jumping suspension.
Tips
- Spend time in the "Run and Settings" area to learn what tuning adjustments work best for you and your car.
- Be aware that some adjustments, like shock absorber bound and rebound rates, may only be possible with full custom shocks.
