gold28 Forums Junkie Location: Madrid - Spain Registered: August 2002	Re: RA28 <-- swaybar setups Mon, 16 June 2003 00:24 Well I actually got off my ass this weekend and measured up the front end of the celica and plotted the roll centre location for a couple of cases. It was prettymuch what I expected. Although the static chamber actually seems quite good at -0.3 and -0.8 degrees each side. It seems that the eccentric bushes in the lower control arm has fixed the problem with the MA61 struts. As I expected the roll centre sits quite well at the static height and zero roll. It drops a little with 25mm of bump (ie under brakes) but not excessively. It all goes pear shaped when rolling though. The roll centre moving from 40cm above ground level at 25mm bump and 5deg roll. (entry into a corner under brakes) to 9cm below ground level at static height and 5deg of roll. (neutral turn). This explains the aweful feeling I get on corner exit. These roll angles may seem a little large, but the static roll centre was pretty low meaning that turning would really load up the suspension, so I went a little on the conservative side. Using the roll centre adjusters mentioned earlier should make the lowered front end a little less sensitive but I havn't yet looked at what the change would be. [Report message to a moderator]
