50/50 weight distribution
(for the Z value of the CoM)
It must be relative to the distance bewtween the front and rear wheels.
Do this calculation: front wheels Z value - rear wheels Z value, then divide by 2.
Example: 39.250000 - 29.500000 = 9,75 / 2 = 4,875
Reducing understeer
As i know there are 4 ways:
.Reducing the Y value of the CoM (lowering the center of mass). Not too much or the camera will go downwards.
.Reducing the Z value of the CoM (sending weight towards the front).
.Increasing the wheels Static & Kinetic Friction.
.Playing with the spring details.
Making the car more stable
The rear wheels Static & Kinetic Friction must be a bit higher than the front wheels (but not too much).
Example:
Front wheels
StaticFriction 2.300000
KineticFriction 2.250000
Rear wheels
StaticFriction 2.500000
KineticFriction 2.450000
Also be sure that the rear wheels don't have less grip as the front ones (found on AMW).
