damn did the same thing string -- lost my post about 4 times tho!

Bottom line -- Search rr98itr user on Honda-tech.com for some GREAT posts on FWD suspension theory. His post started my quest for knowledge lol which ended with Milligans Race Car Vehicle Dynamics... Which is well explained, hardcore and you need to have your htinking cap on to apply the knowledge to a FWD perspective.

Also -- Spring Rates can be calculated but as rr98itr (scott) told me. The fastest theoretical setup may not be driveable at 100% whereas a slight compromise would result in perhaps a 96% top speed potential but 99% consistant application ie more attention can be paid to the race line rather than keeping the car on the road!!

Ewen who sometimes wonders why he tries to make a FWD go fast.
