F1RS car setup utility

I downloaded this gizmo yesterday, tried it and was slightly puzzled by the results. It asks for your rebound and spring settings, then gives you the needed front and rear ARB setting PLUS, and this is confusing, NEW rebound and bump settings. The puzzling part is, if I give new rebounds on my setup, won't that mean the ARBs are wrong with the values this utility produces, plus the values giving are different for left and right. I got the following result: left rear rebound 85% left rear bump 85% right rear rebound 94.9166% left rear bump 94.9166% Could it be the programmer made a mistake and it should be the top 2 are for rebound and the bottom 2 are for bump? For clarity, this utility is to produce a stable car, no severe over/understeer.

Is it possible you put the same amount of rebound and bump in the fronts (on the left side : rebound = bump and the right side: rebound = bump)???? If it's the case, you need a crash course on the effects of dampers settings. Try a ratio of 1.5:1 up to 3:1 in favour of rebound vs bump for each independant wheel.
