suspension design specifics
(OP)
I am interested in plotting various suspension designs from productions cars to see what different manufacturers do with roll centre control, placement, camber gain etc.
I admit that this is mostly for my own education, however is anyone aware of a source for the A arm lengths, KPI, knuckle lengths, suspension travel etc etc required for such comparisons? Naturally I have spent a few days searching the WWW to no avail.
I am interested in Honda NSX, Noble cars (Lee noble seems to be a low roll centre mvt man), Vemac, porsche boxster, ferrai 360 etc.
Any assistance whould be appreciated.

Not that any of the OEM's necessarily have it all down pat, but, if you don't have a working knowledge of WHY a manufacturer settled on a particular design, the information you seek will be of little value.
Depending on your skill in the arts relating thereto... nothing will reveal part of the information you seek faster than looking up full alignment specs.

I will request the alignment specs locally, however my questions still stand.
