A question for those with more knowledge of suspension engineering than
myself. How exactly does the swing spring used on the late model Spits and
GT6 Mk III improve the handling. I've seen in numerous magazine articles
that it lowered the roll center, but from my limited understanding of swing
axle geometry this appears to be a load of marketing hooey being parroted by
the writers. Can someone clarify what's really going on.
The reason for the question stems from Kas Kastner's remark in the MK 2 GT6
tuning manual that swapping in a swing spring will improve handling in a
roto flex car. I can't find anyone who has actually done this - anyone care
to speculate on the theory behind this?
thanks
Scott
