[quote][i]Originally posted by Dave A[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Xs[/i] How did you design the GAZ stuff were you testing different settings on track etc? [/quote] we take 1 standard strut, spring and hub assembly and work from that as a base. we then make various drawings of the standard items and work out how much lower the car would need to be and reduce piston length as well as shock body length. the car will then be corner weighted to decide on spring poundage and then the damping rates will be decided on based on the piston length, spring poundage and length of available stroke. We then design the appropriate brackets and camber settings where applicable. then final drawings and spec will be drawn up using a CAD program and these drawings and specs will be sent to the manufacturers. they make the struts to our spec and another company will make the springs and topmounts for us. The suspension is them re-fitted onto the car and tested for its paticular use and set up accordingly. Often the design will need to be tweeked a few times to get it right, the corsa B kit took 3 attempts to get various aspects of it right, the corsa C kit was a lot easier. Quite often a kit wont be available off the shelf for a paticular vehicle so we can make it up from scratch to the customers own spec, did one recently for a customers TVR with great results.
