I want to design a buggy with doble A arm front suspension and i have some questions for the suspension geometry? Consider a vw 2.0L engine and vw bus 091 transmision, 85 mph. Ground same as Baja 1000.

1. Optimus ride frecuency?
2. Caster value?
3. King Pin Inclination?
4. Scrub radius?
5. Roll center location over ground (+) or under ground (-) or both?
6. Camber change deg/inch of travel?

My values are:
1. 70 cpm
2. 8 deg.
3. 8 deg.
4. +1.5 in.
5. (+) at normal ride or compressed wheel and (-) on bump or extended wheel.
6. .06 deg/in.

With yours expertise this values are correct or what values do you consider that i need to change?
