Spring Center location?

[Shangarsshnah]

Spring Center Location decides the relation between front spring stiffness and rear spring stiffness. I need to know the exact location of the spring stiffness.... Any help...

[billywight]

Have you tried putting the spring center in the middle?

[BillCobb]

2 wheelbases ahead of the front axle. Only for large values of 2 though.

The Spring Centre is in Gloucestershire - see http://www.springcentre.org/ for details.

You might also hear people speaking about the Roll Centre - that's in Cambridgeshire...

And it looks like the Center of Gravity is somewhere in India...

Wrong. Google says the centre of gravity "has closed or relocated".

Man, if we don't know where the center of gravity is that will make suspension design tricky.

Xsc-cg = (Krt - (Kl + Kr) lr)/(Kl +Kr)

[Shangarsshnah]

Give some good explanation regarding this....

[Jay Lawrence]

No.

[Gruntguru]

Looking at your diagram, it appears you already know exactly where the spring centre is.

Is the sketch in any way relevent to your FSAE or Supra car?
If not, what are you trying to show us?
