    Where is the roll center for a buggy sprung front suspension.
    I know how to figure most other set ups but can't figure this one.
    Thanks.
    BTW
    I'm finally back working on my coupe and will be starting a thread soon.

    A 1/4 elliptic leaf spring acts like a straight bar 3/4 as long.

    A transverse leaf spring fixed in the middle, acts like 2 1/4 elliptic springs.
