Subaru WRX STI 2008 - Handling and Performance Tune

What does it do?

This is a tune for the 2008 Subaru WRX STI hatchback mod by Okrasha.

It will adjust power, sound, shift timing, weight distribution, height, spring&damper rates, tire grip and more for a more realistic and satisfying driving experience.

Example changes: originally the car was RWD and this is AWD, the original weight balance looked/felt like heavy rear engine is changed to balanced front engine, top speed is adjusted to stay close to vanilla (i use the mod CMS to increase topspeed btw), instead of spinning out at low speeds and understeering at high speeds this will make the modded car behave more neutral like the real car, its overall more responsive etc.

This also turns off vanilla driving helpers for this car, similar to ABS (CDPR calls it "brakemagic") and ESC (pulls cars straight after a slide), to allow for more skillful driving.

Strong recommendations (global handling fixes, PLEASE USE)

- Cyber Drift

- Dynamic Downforce

- Dynamic Gravity

- True Grip

This mod combo provides you with more control and will make you able to grip and slide in more realistic ways.

For on- and offroad racing, drifting and relaxed cruising through the city!

Driveable with keyboard like before but now you will get more out of using a controller.

Other recommendations

- Car Modification Shop (CMS), to tune all your vehicles ingame - strongly recommended!

- Gripped Up, if you prefer generally increased grip values.

- Advanced Driving Controls for keyboard drivers: limits normal throttle/brake key to ~50% and allows for 100% with Shift/Ctrl!

- Speedometer Fixes if you care how fast youre actually going.

and ofc all of my mods and lonnylasagna's with more to come! stay... tuned  ;)

This is made after months of research and testing - fine tuned for each car individually - with irl rallye, racing and tuning experience!

Tested and considered "realistic" by irl owner of the same car model. I consider this tune quite polished.

Thank you Bill for bearing with me.

Thanks to Okrasha, Cornmilf and the anonymous commissioner for the Subaru WRX STI mod!

Thank you SDH0 and manavortex for answering many stupid questions!
