 These LX cars need a fair amount of understeer in the springs to keep the controllable. Don't go silly with the spring rates though. Low tyre pressures are needed. Keep the diff as open as possible on the power side and reasonable well locked on the coast side. Some rear toe comes in very handy here.

 == History ==
 LX4 was released on July 17, 2003 as a part of the initial [[:Category:S1 contents|S1]] release.
 During July 2007, there was an official competition called LX Month, which had [https://web.archive.org/web/20120920050228/http://competition.lfs.net/lx_autox/ 3 autocross (one weekly)] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20121019081935/http://competition.lfs.net/lx_skinning/ 2 skinning competitions], both with prizes. For the autocross event, three layouts were created for the three weeks (still included in current LFS: select the [[Autocross]] environment and choose one of the three layouts), with separate leaderboards for each. Prizes for the autocross competition included a TrackIR 4 head motion tracker, a TripleHead2Go external multi-display adapter and a Logitech G25 steering wheel, for the winners of three weeks, respectively. Each week's runner-up prizes included a shirt of their choice from the LFS Shop, a £12 LFS voucher (for license upgrades), and places 4th to 10th won 2000 free high resolution skin downloads each. The LX skinning competition accepted skins for both LX4 and LX6, with three winners being picked through open voting and the developers choices. Prizes for the skinning competition comprised of the 3-3 winning skins being included in the to-be-released "LFS S2 final" version and 20 Eur credits at the official LFS Merchandise Shop. The event was sponsored by NaturalPoint, Matrox and Logitech.
