Using Honda springs for coil overs

[NoHachi]

Staniforth states:

Quote:"All racing cars [roll centers] are probably now located within one inch below to two inches above ground. Low roll centres give less weight transfer to the outer wheel, smaller or nil jacking effect but high potential roll angles."

Jacking forces shock load tire (they are instanteneous) and raise the COG at that end of the car. This is supposed to be bad generally, but can help warm up tires on very light vehicles (something I will be trying on a MX5 that has trouble getting 225/45 R888's up to temperature.)

Someone should try and revisit that CAD model we made together and plot a roll centre migration curve. Is Beanbag back on the internets yet?
