FWIW all my sets were either Ted, Julian, or Justin sets slightly modified to my taste. I think this Sonoma set works well with lower grip and bumps better than the Sebring one we started with so I think you'll find it helps. I'll share it Sunday night if I get back in time from the two day out of town autocross I'm heading to straight from work today.
Funny - I wonder if the ones I've gotten that were yours were originally Julian's... because there is a very distinct difference in feel between the ones I have of yours and the ones I grab from Justin. Yours are much, much stiffer, understeer more off throttle (but rotate under braking really well) whereas Justin's are softer and more compliant, but rotate off throttle (almost twitchy by comparison) and don't need (or like) as much trailbraking.
PS - Julian, send me your skin (.tga) file. For some reason it's just not being downloaded with TP for me. I'd like to just force your skin so next season your car displays properly in the replays.
Did you pull it from the forums somewhere? If you can show me where you got it, I'll download it from there. Just need your CustID so I can name it properly.

Very good description about the feel differences though I can trailbrake Justin's setups just fine, they just don't tolerate throwing the car as much as Julian's.

I set-up with the softest spring settings, then play with bump and rebound, brake bias about 58%, abs 9, bars are usually soft in front, stiffer in the rear, tire pressure 22 or 23.I use basically the same set, with minor tweaks done more by feel at a particular track, I look for balance and stability and drivabiity more than outright speed. I used to use motec and analyze everything, but found I can tune better by feel and lap times.

Reason: .
One of the fast guys coughed up a setup last night that I saved. I finally got down to the low 18s with it. I don't yet feel like I can attack the track, more like just hanging on for dear life.
I grabbed the set up as well, it was much better then I was using took over a second of in just a couple of laps, still need to find a second and a half to catch up to Tom

Yes got it from the showroom forum, Falken with the sharks teeth.
