Virtual centers (roll center is one type) for geometry are a PITA. Take point A and point B, draw an imaginary line until it intersects another imaginary line off of another set of points, in 3 dimensions, and can possibly end up underground or in the middle of the car. And the initial points change as the suspension moves, so a degree of recalculation needs to be done for different suspension positions. And those virtual centers then affect how other points with virtual centers move.

Fun times.
