Thank you, that stuff on the dampers is really helpful. (BTW, I think when Doug writes 'nm' he means Newton-Meters. The first time I read the I thought, "150 nanometer springs, what the heck are those?") "Ian Bell" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:qfsE9.1498$[email hidden]...

OTOH, that wouldn't make any sense, unless there were only torsion-bar suspensions... ;) I would guess on N/mm instead.

Yes, SCGT used N/mm in its screens, so that would make sense (and 150 N/mm is quite ok for such a value). Nm is N*m is torque, not force. And springs are expressed as force/distance, so N/m (or N/mm) Ruud van Gaal Free car sim: http://www.racer.nl/ Pencil art : http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery/
