Nohachi's suspension ramblings thread

[drako323]

Guys, I believe in a few months I will be able to provide accurate graphs of the 86 suspension most important geometry factors, such as RCH migration, camber change, anti-squat etc during roll and bump for my suspension setup, which can be used as a guideline for everybody. From then on it would be easy for me to try things, like RCAs of different thickness etc at your request.

I am currently working on my chassis, and before I assemble it (hopefully before October) I will take measurements and use them in my analysis during winter. I hope you are not in too much of a rush!

I had done an analysis with some rough measurements back when I studied vehicle dynamics and if I recall correctly the RCH was indeed somewhere near 200mm and it went up-down approximately between 100-300mm during a 120mm bump travel (60 bump 60 rebound) and went left-right within the engine bay (about 700mm total travel) as well as 50mm up-down during 6 degrees roll (3 degrees left and 3 right). Not too bad for an 80ties mcpherson setup! The rear RCH was always in the center of the panhard rod and didn't move around much... I hope that would help for now!
