If I'm understanding this correctly, you're using a simplified version of this car (model) in order to get a better understanding of this car's vehicle dynamics, correct?

I suspect that many people will find many different uses for a suspension model. I know that this information is really beneficial to me as I try to input the correct variables into
this suspension dynamics calculator. It should be useful in finding theoretically ideal spring rates and damper settings (either through re-valving or adjustments), among other things that will maximize the car's potential grip and performance.
Unfortunately, the accuracy of that data will be limited by the accuracy of the inputs, and most of the input data can only be determined from having a very precise model of the car's suspension. (And fancy software
)
