Hi Madis, thanks for the help. Your drawings are great & very helpfull i hope you dont mind if i save them . I dont know much about how the dampers work & at what angles they work best but i´m trying to find out & learn all i can.
Here´s what the swedesh car builders orginisation have to say:-
*Too litle angle makes the springs weeker or have less resistance & could result in "damper bind"...

*Same thing can hapen if damper angle is too big & a biger & stronger spring will be needed, also the damper movements become very small ...

So they simly recomend 20-30 deg & max35 deg. The roadster has acording to the drawings & the measurements i made 42 in the front & 45 in the back & from what i´ve read on this forum that works great for the roadster.
From what i´ve seen on the web it seems most super sevens have more or less the same angles, but why & how that works I have no idea so if any one out there could explain that it would be great
cheers
samy
