That one I can answer: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/articles/understanding-corner-weights/
Geometric vs force based roll center calculation. Which one do you feel is more useful to the backyard suspension designer?
If your designing a new suspension what steps do you go through to determine overall design philosophy and what dimension or variable do you feel is most important.
In reply to series8217:
Thanks. That link is a pretty good read.
why don't more high end suspension setups utilize a pneutmatic bumpstop
Are there any big differences between what works on a high downforce car(F1, LMP) and a low downforce car(production based body)?
Is one style of car more forgiving of mistakes than the other? For example if a spring or shock choice is off or the suspension geometry isn't quite right will downforce magnify those problems or does the extra traction mask them.
Do you think the future of high-performance suspension is a system similar to the McLaren P1 - where hydraulics control how the suspension moves and the spring rate is chosen purely on ride comfort?
What is the relationship between camber front and rear? What is the relationship of camber to body roll?
