Has anyone plotted the RX8's suspension geometry?
Has anyone measured out and plotted data for the RX-8 such as the control arm lengths, Kingpin, Scrub Radius, Roll Center, Instant Center, Swing Arm Length, and approx COG? Thanks

Cost him time and money to do it, and the knowledge is a competitive advantage over his competitors. I think he's unlikely to share it unless you've buy some significant sticker space on his car. And then he's still unlikely to give you carte blanche to share it with the World...

Hate to dredge up an old thread, but has anyone posted measurements on control arm lengths, angles, kingpin angle, CoG height, etc.? I was hoping to map the 8's suspension in Wishbone and I'm having trouble finding numbers.

I'm going to get some measurements for my eventual move to STX. When I get those measurements I will post them for everyone here.
