allegro Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Bit of a numpty question, but how does ride height affect understeer/oversteer ? 13'' rims with CR500, standard SLR springs and shocks. Slight negative camber and 0.5deg toe out. Andy Mac C7 GON 😬 Team Langoustine. Hard Core Prawn here 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 I don't think it is all to do with ride height, but more to do with the amount of difference in ride height between front and back it should be 15mm from 2 points, and I think the less rake the more understeer I could however be talking complete b 😬llax rob   Edited by - robmar on 13 May 2003 12:50:38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allegro Posted May 13, 2003 Author Share Posted May 13, 2003 OK. Where are the two points to measure ? Andy Mac C7 GON 😬 Team Langoustine. Hard Core Prawn here 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Carmichael Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Argh! You are on the wrong track. SLR has watts linkage so greatly reduced sensitivity to rear ride height changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisb Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 But for those of us who are interested, where do you measure the height from front and back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 adjacent to the front N/s engine mount , and the sill at the front edge of the rear wing . as I recall - 140mm at the front is the setting for the SLR 400 racers . The appear to go round corners kinda OK ? dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
