       Obviously, the adjustments you make elsewhere can impact here
       and visa versa.  For example, Anti-roll Bar and aero can work
       hand in hand, as well as the diff settings.

       I am not going to get into to much here, as this is the part
       where you can maybe get a good basic setup, but then to shave
       those last hundredths off a time can take hours and hours of
       tinkering.  Also, your personal driving style will dictate the
       kind of car you want.  I personally like something that is
       slightly loose, but this has its risks.
       Ride Height: Generally I lower the ride height to minimum, but
       may raise the rear if I want a little more oversteer, or raise
       the front to give the backend more stability, or to help with
       high kerbs.
       Springs:  Harder front springs make car more responsive but
       maybe more understeer.  Harder rear springs create more
       oversteer.  Generally harder springs can help settle quickly
       with fast changes of directions, but also may result in lost of
       grip.
       Slow Bump and Rebound:  Generally the front bump and rear
       rebound work together and the rear bump and front rebound work
       together.   I use these to fine tune the cars behavior during
       initial turn in and on power turn/corner exit.
       Fast Bump and rebound:  This is a dark art and I often find I
       just have to play with these till I notice a difference.
       Anti-Roll Bar:  I tender to have these as stiff as possible to
       help with changes in direction.  But for the Aston the rear is
       normally proportional stiffer than the front.
       Toe:  I think Ideally you want the toe setting as close to 0 as
       possible.  However, these settings can have a big impact on the
       cars behavior. So play with the extreme values and see what you
       think.
       I tend not to do specific quali setups, but if you do, this can
       make quite a difference to your lap time.
       Bottom line no matter how good your setup up, there will always
       be guys faster than you.  However, having a car that you have
       confidence in will always be faster.
       I hope this helps some of you and that it also allows some of
       the aliens to share some of their setup tips.
