Radical V’s Elise/Exige Suspension
orton1966 - 12/7/10 at 08:33 PM

I’m currently trying to finalise my plans for a BEC Midi, whilst I’m happy with most aspects I keep going in circles on the suspension. I swing from wanting to do my own thing to wanting to follow a proven path.

Originally I had chosen MX5 uprights and was going to do custom geometry to suit, latterly I’ve considered reproducing the MX5 geometry but with custom tubular wishbones and adjusting the pickup-point heights to suit my chosen lower ground clearance.

Then I thought the other option is to use a geometry already designed and proven on a good track-biased midi design.

So the question is: does anyone have the details of any suitable vehicles geometry, if nothing else it’ll give me something to compare my own scribblings with!

Believe the SR2 uses MX5 uprights

Also understand Talon Motorsport are investigating this avenue (been a few posts on Haynes forum about this)
