Re: Suspension Geometry

[Simon Favre <favres@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, Scott Fisher certainly covered the topic over with a thick
layer of good info. I can only add that a similar analysis applies
to the 101 and 105 series, as they also have double wishbone front
suspensions.  The old rule about stiffening the end you want to
break loose first only applies to cars that are basically neutral,
or nearly so. The effect of body roll on camber change and contact
patch is more significant to street machines. To see all the pretty
pictures Scott was conjuring up in your mind, pick up a copy of
Fred Puhn's "How to Make Your Car Handle" which is in the HP books
inventory.  While some may not consider it a definitive work, it's
a great primer on the subject.
