The S5 Aero doesn't have any adjustment as it is a much cheaper and more simple set-up.

I don't know what the set-up on Aero Chassis Plus 8's is. Perhaps they are all like S4/S3's or perhaps the latest ones share the S5 set up.

My S5 had all the stock dampers, springs and roll bars removed and replaced with a completely different set up.

A few remarks below from the people that did everything (this is just one page from 13!)

Cornering Analysis

Power Off / Apex
This analysis looks at the car at the turn – in to apex period, with power off (or small application to overcome drag).

The rear anti roll bar is much too stiff – and the front anti roll bar is too soft, hence the car oversteers at all stages of the corner, from turn-in through apex and exit. Even when driven well below its limits, the car is ‘pointy’, nervous – and saps driver confidence.

The recommended ride heights, springs, ARB and damper settings give a precise, stable turn-in with much improved transient response. The car gives slight understeer at the apex. We have allowed the roll angle to increase to 2.33 degrees (inc. tyre compression), as a consequence of the softer springs and softer rear anti roll bar required to improve ride quality and eliminate the previous oversteer.

Power On / Corner Exit

This analysis looks at the car under power/acceleration from corner apex, looking at high and low speed corners, in 2nd through 4th gears. The analysis includes the effects of tyre characteristics, load transfer, traction ellipse and
traction vectors.

With the current set up / configuration, the car oversteers strongly under power, even in 4th gear – and traction is impaired.

The recommended springs, ARBs and set up give much improved
traction and balance in the corner exit phase, allowing the application of more than twice as much power in the corner exit phase, compared to the current set up - and giving the following characteristics (with 3.3
CWP fitted):
a) Power oversteer at full throttle in 2nd gear corners. Neutral
balance with 278 bhp (76% throttle) applied.
b) Neutral balance under full throttle in 3rd gear corners with 354 bhp (96% throttle) applied.
c) Slight, safe understeer under full throttle in 4th, 5th and 6th gear corners.
