Test Drive: CR-X Time Attack Tune

Vert344 sent me some tunes to try out - so this morning I took out his CR-X setup for some runs down Shiga Kusatsu.  Here is his tune:

Honda CR-X SiR EF8
Engine Tune
Parts A: AKP Level 4
Parts B: UNI Level 4
Parts C: HVN Level 4

 
Turbo Tune
Turbo Kit: N/A
Intercooler: N/A
Turbine: N/A
Air Cleaner: N/A

Power Tune
Muffler: L Level 4
Cooling Module: Level 4
ROM: Level 5

Powertrain
Transmission: Level 5
Clutch: Level 5
LSD: 1-way, Level 3
Suspension. Level 4
Brake: Level 4 (Water Blue)

Body Tune
Reinforce: Level 4
Weight Down: Level 5

Tire
Front: Sports Level 3
Rear: Sports Level 3

Wheels

 Rear: YOKOHAMA Connoisseur No. 512 C2

Dress Up Tune

Light

Settings
Powertrain
Gear Ratio
1st: 3.448
2nd: 2.268
3rd: 1.530
4th: 1.158
5th: 0.925
Final: 3.892
Initial Torque: 4 (Front), 2 (Rear)
LSD Ratio: 4 (Front), 2 (Rear)

Suspension
Spring rate: +2 (Front), +2 (Rear)
Damper: +3 (Front), +3 (Rear)
Stabilizer: +1 (Front), +1 (Rear)
Ride Height: -12 (Front), -6 (Rear)

Alignment
Toe: -6 (Front), -5 (Rear)
Camber: -1.00 (Front), -0.45 (Rear)

Others
Brake Effect: 6 (Front), 6 (Rear)
Handbrake: 120%
Wing: N/A
Steering Angle: 1
Torque Balance: N/A
Traction Control: 0
ABS: 6

The biggest problem I had with the setup is the braking.  When coming into a corner from a high-speed straight, hard braking made the car lose a lot of control and stability.  I didn't really address the braking because everyone likes their braking a little different.  However, here is the suggested changes I would make to the rest of the setup:

Stabilizer: +1 (Front), +3 (Rear)
Toe: -2 (Front), +2 (Rear)
Camber: -0.30 (Front), 0.00 (Rear)
Steering Angle: 2

These little changes should help the handling of the car, but more fine tuning is probably necessary.
