Xidas, bumpstops, and a suspension cam
Cool vid of a camera pointed at a Xida in an Exocet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfso8iDwego#t=1m42s (right hand sweeper starting at 1:42... cam is on rear left) Doesn't look like it touches the bumpstop on full cornering unless it hits a bump. If one follows Emilio's recipe for a streetable track car - Xidas, front bar, 6ULs, and say, 225mm super200 tires - do they touch the bumpstops at full cornering only when hitting bumps? Anyone done a suspension cam vid on a miata? |

or "Sometimes" Depends on ride height, surface grip, tire condition, chassis setup/alignment, spring rate, bar setting... As Emilio said elsewhere, that question is way too simple. There are a million variables. |
That goes without saying.
That's why I bounded the problem by saying "following the 949 recipe, with super200 tires"... I found this |

I found this Konis, no bumpstops (!), 11.5" rear ride height (3.5" pinch weld rear), 375 lb/in rears, 225 RS3 tires. What is it you are actually trying to conclude Jason? I mean, what is the project you are working on that requires the data? |
