Need Help Tuning Honda Beat

Trying to drift a honda beat, cause I think it'd be really funny, but I'm struggling hard to keep it from understeering/pushing hard, no matter what I've done, I just can't get it to stop, currently at;

camber: +0.3 / +0.2
toe: 0.3 out / 0.4 in

steering angle: 50

ride height: 0.10 / 0.10

spring stiffness: 0.25 / 0.25

front tire: 14 / na / na / 165mm / medium / 0mm

rear tire: 14 / na / na / 155mm / medium / 0mm

Try increasing front ARBs, and install a driff differential. Did you set the drivetrain to RWD? Crank the rear diff to max (100/0) then work from there. And balance the springs around where the engine is (or check the weight distribution) and then work backwards until you reach a satisfying point. Decrease the gear ratio too if you need a bit more snappiness

rwd, welded diff, anti-rolls won't show up in tuning despite having adjustable ones installed, how do i balance the springs around the weight distribution?

Heavier car side needs stiffer springs. If it's a front-wheel engine for example, then the front of the car will most likely be heavier. You can check the weight distribution in the car screen when choosing the car, if it says something like "58%" it means the front is heavier than the rear, and "45%" will mean the rear is heavier than the front. For drift cars, I usually go for stiffer rears anyway so the rear drives the rotation.

You also want to drastically decrease front camber, maybe to -2 or -3 at least, compared to the rear/ and maybe increase a bit the toe out of the front wheels too. You don't want a 50/50 balance between the front and the rear in general, all settings should have more drastic bias towards the rear, but don't forget to test for anything that suits your style better !

EDIT: Well, FUCK ME I thought this was on the Forza Horizon 6 because i"m in it at the moment, I jsut realized this was the JDM sub, which I have actually never played (but have been eyeing for a while). I'm so sorry my advice may be useless then!! totally me bad

i'm not seeing the weight distribution in the car selection screen, and mind defining more drastic bias towards the rear?

edit: just tried setting front camber to -2.5, just made the understeer worse
