Shock absorbers in ICR2

Anyone out there got any tips to setting the shocks in ICR2? I've read
the manual, but it hasn't really helped, particularly not in trying to
get tire temps equal. There seem to be three issues- one, the ratio
between front shocks to rear shocks, and two, how weight is carried on
individual tires, and three, where the overall range for the whole
vehicle is (i.e., where the average falls between 0% and 100% for all
wheels together).

Post replies, please.

I have found that there are two possibilities that work.

First, a lower rear wing setting with lower rear shock values on
road/street circuits will give higher straightline speeds but tricky
corner control.

On the ovals I use pretty close to equal shock percent settings all the
way around, this can work on road/street circuits as well but you need a
much higher rear wing setting to maintain stability.

I have noticed that in general, if you are a relative novice, higher wing
and shock settings give much greater stability. There are locations on the
web that put car setups out for everyone to enjoy. I would seek out those
sources and practice, practice ,practice.
