Does anyone know what the motion ratio is on the suspension???

 

You mean the spring installation ratio?

 

Shock travel : wheel travel ratio

 

Front: 0.816
Rear: 0.772

 

Cool, thanks John!

 

Hey John,

How did you get these so quick?

 

I have my sources.

Just one of the perks of having been obsessed with the S2000 since late '98 -- a lot of info's been posted on the web over the years...

 

P.S. Those who love triple-digit accuracy: be aware that the motion ratio changes throughout the range of suspension travel. Typically it decreases in jounce, increases in rebound. The figures above are nominal values, roughly corresponding to a stock suspension at rest on level ground.

 

Yeah, I just wanted to know because I'm building a cantilever suspension with the shocks mounted over the engine and I'm going to have variable rate bellcranks which are adjustable along with the cocpit adjustable sway bars.

 

Wouln't the motion ratios also be affected by wheel offset, or more precisely where the centerline of the wheel is, and possibly also by camber since this would affect the "center of force"?
