What's the best setup for a street car?
Tarret bronze/urethane? (Sounds like a good idea, but never heard from anyone running them) Needle Bearings? ( I worry about rust and maintenance issues) Stock with 40K on them? (Has a low "trick" factor, but probably works good) Delrin/urethane (squeeky........don't want them) Ditto for rear trailing arm bushings???? |

We're talking about different things. The real world only has 3 axes (x, y, z). Translation is a force. Rotation is a moment (force about an axis). An SLA suspension can control the upright/wheel, but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about number of Newtons going into the wheel through the road and how thats absorbed through the spring/damper and the mounts. Simple force balance equation. Its not easy, but simple. Most engineers are dicks. Especially young ones with good jobs... big brains, bigger egos (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |
