Some of us have been discussing the 914 rear suspension offline and I measured my toe curve yesterday. I figured I'd share it with the club for discussion.
The axle height scale is in inches and the zero is with the arm level. Attached image(s) |

You will increase the scrub by changing the pivot point angles. Have you measured the amount scrub in the stock setup? Have you measured it in your current setup?
Do you know where the roll centers are now and where they go in bump and roll? What is your cg height? Do you know what happens when you increase the distance between the two? You still have to fix the toe change issues with the rear suspension. Kevin is looking to solve the problems. Heard the other day Finch is thinking about coming back to play in FP. You can bet he has analyzed all of these factors. |
