Has Some Published All The Suspension Dimensions or Developed a Roll Center Model?
One post from 2010 had had a little info on the front suspension, none on the rear, and the drawing with the guide to numbers was missing. Another member has a website that discusses it but doesn't provide the detail for independent analysis.
From observing how S2000s are modified I think the car may have a rear roll center that increases in height relative to the front as the car rolls. That could explain the good handling at street speeds with need for a lot more front roll stiffness with aggressive tires on a race track. But that is just a hypothesis. Without data it is like predicting next year's weather.
How dive and squat coupled with roll (e.g. braking into or accelerating out of a corner) interact would also be interesting to understand.
So has anyone measured all of the components (primarily A-arm and shock/anti-roll bar mounting points in 3 dimensions (needed for anti-dive and anti-squat/anti-lift calculations)?
Thanks,
David
