Hi all, I have been messing with a string computer all day, trying to suss out suspension mounting (inboard) points for my mid engine machine.
I have arrived at the point where I am fairly happy with the figures I am getting at the moment but would just like to check if I am chasing the right tails so to speak!
So I have been concentrating on the static roll centre and currently have a set up that is 4" above ground (this is for the rear of a mid engined car) giving the car 1" bump and 1" droop the RC moves about 1/4" up and down, then with 2" bump and 2" droop the RC moves another 1/2", so in all 3/4" up and down over a 4" travel, sound ok or should it be better than that??
Is the Static Roll Centre top of the list or should I concentrate more on keeping the wheels upright in roll, with the current set up I will have to run some Neg camber which I would expect anyway.
Any other ideas, pointers or tips to consider that I may have missed???
Cheers Chris
