Suspension/chassis geometry

[joe_thompson]

Does anyone have any information/diagrams for the EK civic on the following?


Front roll centre
Rear roll centre
Both instantaneous roll centres
Center of gravity
Steering rack Inclination point geo
Kingpin inclination geo


All in standard form

Anything you got will be of help

Maybe... what's it worth?

Surely you've got all the kit to measure and model this all up anyway? Or were you looking for official figures? I don't think you'll find any official stats.

I searched high and low for official figures but I do not think they exist outside of Honda's own design archives.

I can give you some figures that I measured, however I would personally recommend you measure it all yourself and do not trust figures from anyone else. I don't even trust my own measurements beyond what I wanted to use them for because they were done on the driveway in full road trim, with rudimentary tools, as such the accuracy sucks balls. What is it you want the figures for? If it's to engineer parts, you'll need to do a lot better than I did for sure.

The best way is to have a bare shell assembled with all the arms and measure from that, I believe you're all geared up for that.
