Nohachi's suspension ramblings thread

[NoHachi]

Hi, don't have much time but a few pointers:
Suspension frequencies don't tell the whole story.. you need more roll resistance then a miata, S2000s or Elises, so somewhat high springrates are needed.. Just not a whole lot higher. 1.9Hz is very liveable. More on that topic once I figure out a way to fill in some variables I'm missing..(cog and rc height).

Also, you are forgetting about the suspension motion ratio in your comparo between the miata and AE86. At 6/4 the miata is at 1.9Hz, while the greddy AE86 is near 2.8-2.5Hz. You should really compare that miata to an AE86 with similar wheelrates (e.g. 3.8/3.3).
