I'm building a formula car about half-way between an FSAE and an Ariel Atom.
Is it typical to design the springs and suspension travel for a g-load or for a target bounce/droop range? Suspension components are stressed for more than 4G, but the shocks will bottom at about 1.5G, even with some really stout springs.
See the album here for pics of the car:
