I think I've still got my Matlab model I made when I had my miata. I'll see if I can find it on an external hard drive somewhere and plug some of these numbers in.
I bookmarked this thread and will take some time to read it over the next few days. If there's anything I can do to help contribute, let me know!

I have been wanting to do the same, but school has kept me too busy. I want to create a simulation of the 1/4 car model posted a few posts back to see how different spring constants and damping curves change vehicle response to bumps. I also wanted to use it to try to quantify the effects of reducing unsprung weight.
Shankenstein, not too important but I noticed a small mistake in the first post. I think the tire radius should be ~12.3" or .31 meters, not 9".
