I have been doing some research into setting up suspension correctly, I have worked out all the maths to calculate things like the roll centres, all 3 centres of gravity, spring rates, ride heights, sprung weight, unsprung weights, Roll bar rates and so on......... but now I dont know what to do with it...I can tell that the roll centres are X inches high, the locations of the centres of gravity, but whats the ideal? does anyone have any real world experience of setting up suspension on GT4s or any other car for that matter????

Well theres only two of those to chose from really, the car will only ever see either the track or the street. Ideally I`d set the car up for tarmac which would be a halfway house between ttaking it to the track and taking it out on the weekends for a drive about. If people are genuinely interested in the maths involved in working this stuff out I can "try" and write it up. Its not that complicated.
