Desired Roll Gradient

[Carlos Torres]

Which Roll gradient (Roll Gain) is desired for our FSAE Cars? http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_confused.gif
I´ve seen from 0.7 to 1 deg/g
Milliken´s RCVD recommend
For sedans 1-1.8 deg/g
For Aero cars 0.25-0.5 deg/g
thanks

Our car is currently set up to have 1.1 deg/g. However, I am not sure that is anything to shoot for. I personaly think it may be a little stiff.

Our car is setup for about .7 deg/g. Your roll gradient should come from any tire data you might have (I need $12k...) and roll stiffness calculations. I guess I will find out soon when the car is running...
