Richard,
Thanks for the great addition. While the topic of that paper certainly applies to effectiveness of suspension in general, and to many of the details we have discussed in this thead, I believe it is too valuable an article to remain "buried" here, on the 3rd page of a shock absorber thread.
I suggest you open a brand new thread, with the title something like "Building a Cage? Look here First!", and show the link, along with appropriate cautions, such as:
[1] Results were obtained without a mounted motor or trans, which would already strengthen the front clip.
[2] Most 911 chassis would flex "backwards" from the NASCAR roller, ie. need more triangulation in the "rear clip".
[3] A unibody is NOT a ladder frame.
[n] many others . . .
This was a great find, and deserves its own topic, especially for those who are welding up their own cages over the winter!
