Suspension  
Kinematics and suspension adjustment
The principle objects of the Microsoft Excel based kinematic analysis, were to minimise tyre scrub, while maintaining near-constant roll centres, and follow a fair compromise between ride and roll wheel attitude.
Uprights
upright
Fabricated steel uprights, made in house. Designed to maximize weight and waste material, while maximizing strength. Canter lever bolt design for lower wishbones, suspension stripping and rebuilding much easier.
Wishbones
This years suspension consists of uneven, non-parallel front and rear wishbones. The rear wishbones incorporate the rear tie rods.
Springs and Dampers
damper
This year we are using adjustable Penske dampers with actuating push rods through aluminium billet bell cranks.
