All I should know about suspension before any modification

[damusto]

Hi I'd like to gather all AE86 suspension data in this topic.

For me because Im creating driving simulator, video game if You prefer.
And for all who want to consciously modify their suspension for different purposes.

For good reproduction AE86 handling properties in my simulator I need more than 5500 parameters. (This sounds more dangerous than it is in reality.)

At the beginning I need to locate all the joints, this will determine the height of chassis swing points, and provide real changes in suspension geometry during in game operation.
For this reason, I am looking for technical drawings of AE86 suspension.
It would be great if anyone here could help or share stuff like this.

I'm also looking for dyno graphs of stock shock-absorbers and bumpstops. I need to determine length of wheel bump and rebound traveling distances.
Spring rate of stock stabilizers ...
... and many, many more. (all front and rear of course)

Because Im overviewing our forum some time now, I let my self to invite few valuable people by PM's to discuss this issue.
Of course I hope that all You will contribute to the discussion, and together we'll be able to determine all this.

Unfortunately I do not have opportunities to associate it with the thresholds, however I managed to establish the ground clearance is 150mm
