SCGT setup help

Can someone explain how the different options in the suspension menu affect
the performance of the car? And, how exactly does the gear ratios work? I
know I can get better performance out the car, but I'm not a automotive
engineer.

Thanks in advance!

  This is very general  It works real well with a Panoz and soso on the
other cars.  
  First you want to get the car low...as low as possible.  Gets that
center of gravity down.  then you want a stiff front end.  How stiff?  I
don't know.  It's different  for every car.  The back generally should
be softer than the front.  If you find the car is breaking loose at the
rear, try making it softer still.  the springs and the Anti roll bars
control stiffness.  the bumps I can explain but I can't telly you what
the sweet spot on those will be so I'll let em go for now..(its extra
*** in the shock body that gives you that last bit of cushion before
you bottom out your suspension)  
  I have only found two setups on the net...although several sites
promise they are on the way...{yeah right!}
  Now someone who really knows can pick this apart and give you a real
lesson!  :)
