Suspension Kinematics Support Package

🛠️ Support Package 1 – Core Kinematics Setup

For clients seeking foundational geometry validation and steering setup

This package helps you define and visualise suspension geometry using C6 or C7 components, tailored to your unique chassis layout. Ideal for early-stage development, scratch builds, or re-engineered platforms.

Client Input Required:

• Wheel and tyre specifications

• Offset, track width, and wheelbase

• Roll centre target (or let us suggest one)

• Desired caster and Ackermann

• Steering rack pivot centres

• Anti-dive / anti-squat preferences

Deliverables:

• Suspension component placement based on your inputs

• Steering rack positioning to optimise Ackermann and minimise bump steer

• Graphs and animations illustrating:

• Camber gain

• Ackermann

• Bump steer

• Roll centre migration

• Caster trail & caster gain

• Kingpin inclination & scrub radius

• Instant centre location

• Track width and wheelbase variation

Pricing:

• Front axle only: $1,000 AUD

• Front & rear axles: $1,800 AUD

⚙️ Support Package 2 – Kinematics + Ride & Roll Setup

For clients ready to tune spring rates, motion ratios, and roll control

Building on Package 1, this option adds support for ride frequency and roll rate targeting, with recommendations for spring and anti-roll bar selection—perfect for custom builds where OEM ride tuning no longer applies.

Additional Input Required:

• Shock absorber and anti-roll bar positioning (CAD preferred)

• Desired ride frequency and roll rate (or let us suggest starting points)

Additional Deliverables:

• Recommended spring rates

• Recommended anti-roll bar stiffness

• Motion ratio analysis

Additional Pricing (on top of Package 1):

• Front axle only: $1,200 AUD

• Front & rear axles: $2,000 AUD

These packages are ideal for scratch builders, modifiers, and engineers who need to adapt proven OEM hardware to unique chassis configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Suspension Kinematics Support Packages – C6 & C7 Applications

Who are these packages designed for?

These packages are specifically tailored for builders, engineers, and enthusiasts using C6 or C7 suspension components in scratch-built vehicles or heavily modified platforms. If you're adapting OEM geometry to a custom chassis, these support packages will help you define, simulate, and refine your setup with confidence.

Do I need CAD files to get started?

Not necessarily. For Package 1, basic dimensional inputs (wheel size, track width, caster targets, etc.) are sufficient.
For Package 2, CAD files are preferred for shock and anti-roll bar positioning, but we can work with sketches or reference dimensions if needed.

Can you help me choose starting values for things like roll centre or ride frequency?

Absolutely. If you're unsure about certain targets—such as roll centre height, Ackermann percentage, or ride frequency—we can suggest sensible starting points based on your vehicle type, intended use, and component selection.

What format are the results delivered in?

We provide a combination of graphical outputs, animations, and summary reports. These include visualisations of suspension movement, geometry plots, and key metrics like camber gain, bump steer, and roll centre migration. All deliverables are provided in accessible formats for review and integration.

Can I request changes after receiving the initial results?

Yes—within reason. Each package includes a round of feedback and minor revisions to ensure the setup aligns with your goals. For more extensive changes or iterative development, we can quote additional support hours.

Do you offer support for other platforms besides C6 and C7?

Yes. While these packages are optimised for C6 and C7 geometry, we also support custom suspension layouts and other OEM platforms. Just reach out with your project details and we’ll advise on suitability.

Is this suitable for motorsport applications?

Definitely. Many of our clients use these packages to validate geometry for track cars, time attack builds, and competitive motorsport platforms. We can tailor recommendations to suit high-performance use cases.

How do I get started?

Simply [contact us] with a brief overview of your project. We’ll guide you through the input requirements and help you select the right package for your needs.
