C5 Corvette Suspension Geometry

Thanks for the drawing it helps to see pictures. How many degrees of Anti-dive is excessive? I have the Suspension Analyzer 2.0 software. I'm going to start playing with the layout in the picture.

It really depends on your CG height, spring rate, etc. Most suspensions I've set up use anywhere from 2 degrees to about 8, with most being around 6. Too much anti-dive will make the ride harsher than it needs to be, so it's helpful to get it close to optimum.

Anybody have this CADD & willing/able to share it? I assume it is NX CADD data, I have 4 versions of NX & work for the company that makes the software & debating putting a Vette chassis under a Monte SS. This would help EXTREMELY!

Thanks for posting that picture.
It gives a great relationship between the front and rear suspension.

I copied it from whoever posted it on the first page.

Hi there, I am also looking for this CAD. Does anyone have access to it? Happy to pay a small bonus for your time.

Reconstructed the angles. Do we have any more information here and the differences to the C5, C7 and C8 chassis? Unfortunately I do not have the other plane.

Overlayed the C6 front suspension on the C4 front suspension and found that they are very similar to each other. Almost the same geometry. Any more info on that?
