Hi guys, I dropped in here to see what i could learn. I am in the process of building a lotus 7 type clubman from the ground up and plan on using a skyline rear end and possibly front uprights and brakes also. I have been doing heaps of research into suspension design recently and can perhaps offer some comments here. Different roll centre front to back is not good. An analogy I was give was if you get a shoe box and a long rod. Insert the rod at one end down low and out the other towards the top of the box, this is effectively you roll centre axis, rotate the box from side to side to mimic body roll of the car and you will see what happens to each of the 4 corners (tyres). Depending on your suspension set up one can not always get these points at the same height but from what I have read it is desirable. If you have say a live axle in the rear and independent in the front the rear will almost always be higher there is little you can do about it. I have also tried to include a pic which should show you the way to identify rc for mac pherson strut. Hope it works, ok no idea any tips on how to post an image?? Cheers Andrew
