Evening All
Could any-one please explain corner weights and what I need to do. I've read several articles and bought Allan Staniforths book "Competition Car Suspension" but still can't seem to grasp what is needed.
The car is a bike engined Lotus 7 Clone.
the weights on each corner are F.R. 115 Kilo, F.L. 125 kilo,
R.R. 130 kilo, R.L. 160 kilo
Totals
Front 240 kilo 45.28%
Rear 290 kilo 54.72%
Left 285 kilo 53.77%
Right 245 kilo 46.23%
I understand I have to reduce R.L. which will add weight to the F.R.
What I would like to know is there an ideal percentage split front to rear or do I have get the left and right to balance
Hope this makes sense
regards
Tony
