Anti Dive
hicost - 24/11/12 at 12:02 AM

Putting together my suspension this weekend and I am going to put some antidive into the mounting points. Anyone have any thoughts on this subject?

Wouldn't think it's necessary in a car of this type, weight and power! Could be just another complication!

They don't tend to squat on braking but if you do don't go mad or youll lock the front more easily

Avoid anti-dive --- a very little is fine on a big heavy softly sprung car but on a small sports car no.

However on the rear anti-squat can be useful.

I just happen to have a complete Caterham in my workshop at the moment stripped to the chassis. I notice Caterham lift the bottom front wishbone about an inch higher at the end nearest the back.

I am going to put the same in mine.

Hi....I have anti squat/ anti dive suspension built into my t11 and it makes a hole world of differance, one thing I would say is make sure your measurement's are up to scratch and you know where your point of balance is...........
