Derived settings: there is no validated preset for this base, so we start from its family and torque recipe. An honest starting point, not dogma.

Model notes

  • Hybrid drive: if the center feels notchy, drop LFB by 5-10 from this baseline.
  • Use a little LFB, but keep clipping under control on high-downforce cars.
  • A touch more damping makes fast straights calmer.

Spring

For AMS2100
