Suspension Questions ?

[gtrclive]

Seeing as the Your cars are know to have very neutral handling I would like a few questions answered if that's ok

What's the suspension travel on the front and rear, i.e. in bump(compression) and rebound (normal ride hieght to wheel of the floor) ?

What's the wieghts over each axle (front rear Split) ?

Does anyone know the effective swing arm lenght, or Scrub radius ?

How amount of camber change per inch bump ?

Caster angle ?

Spring rates ?

Basical any info on the suspension setup would be great. Idealy if someone has put all the suspension pickup point in a suspension analisys program that would be fantastic.

Reason for asking I am building a spaceframe chassis for a Project car of mine and wound love to get the same knid of neutral handling.

Cheers

There really doesn't seem to be much info around to be honest, on any part of the car. It's all a bit of a shock for me, coming from the world of EVO's where most people have them in bits at some time.

I can understand why Noble would want to keep some details underwraps, as there's some clever stuff going on. Maybe with a few more 2.5's on the secondhand market more people will get there spanners out.

I'll have my 3R (hopefully) in a couple of weeks and I must admit, it's going to be hard for me not to have a good dig around. Not that I'd do anything that would void the warranty....

Phil,

I see you took a test drive only a few days ago, so you have done well to get a 3R so quickly !

I must admit I thought I was in for a long wait, or going seondhand. But it seems there are a few cars 'in the system' that haven't got any owners names to them.

I can't wait. It's going to be interesting going from 4 wheel drive back to two. I'll miss being able to just floor it...even in the wet...in first. The EVO (6) did however, felt like a big old boat after the test drives in the GTO's.
