Camber gain

Does anyone have any data regarding production sports car suspension with regards to the amount of camber gain used?

Can't remember the source of this - I have a printed sheet in my useful info file!!!

MX5/Miata Front Camber gain in bump 0.91 degrees per inch mean rate. Rear 0.21/0.58 degrees per inch initial/final rate

Lotus Elise Front 0.31 degrees per inch, rear 0.45 degrees per inch.

Hope this helps, will credit this to the original author when I find out who it was!

I'm not sure if if this is your source:

Some suspension parameters for existing sports cars:

Cymtriks on grabber

Can I ask - where are you going with the data?

Cheers,

I'm having a discussion with my suspension engineer re how much camber gain will be on Godiva. Getting base data is very important, but it is also difficult to get modern data and changes in settings from a road car to the race version in say GT3 spec.

Hi so many things will affect the actual amount needed. For first trying on a prototype setup it would be better to use an adjustable setup that can then be used to gain info from actual testing IMHO.

Cheers Matt

difficult to engineer given the local regulations. It is also interdependant with FVSA lengths
