* When making changes to torsion bars or any changes to the chassis that also changes the tube heights, use the torsion bar stops to return the tube heights to their original values.
Bold face remedies are the go-to fixes for each symptom. On the iRacing Sprint Cars, you should be able to stick to those and make any adjustments you need without going any further.
If you see any errors or have any questions, I can usually be found in Discord.
