FWD vs RWD: Adders, Subtractors, and Weight, Oh my...!

[dickita15]

Honest question: there seems to be some agreement here that ITS and ITR FWD cars need more of a break due to the problem of higher horsepower cars putting too much stress on the front tires because of weight distribution and the front tires doing all the work. There is also a feeling from some R cars will need more that S cars. Is this higher need by the R cars at all mitigated by wider wheels and by extension tires allowed in ITR?

Ya know that is a really really good point.....Seriously

This may even explain why the 50lbs seems to work for both ITA and ITB.

on that note maybe it should should end up more like.

ITR - 150
ITS - 150
ITA - 50
ITB - 50
ITC - 0

Thoughts?

I'm cool with that, I guess, but I might bump ITR up to 175. I'd really have to look at the numbers closely -that's just my gut. But hey, we're all cool with doing things because our gut says to right??

I could see that making sense.

ITR - 175
ITS - 150
ITA - 50
ITB - 50
ITC - 0

Could I get some opinions on how how people feel about the FWD strut cars getting 50lbs off but no other cars in ITR getting any adjustment for suspension?

It is a different approach but the thought process is that the cars in ITR are all pretty advanced compared to a lot of IT cars. When you throw a car like the RSX Type S in there, we tried to balance it out by giving it (and any other car like it present or future), that -50lb 'adder'.
