Suspension Musings

Before I can finalize my suspension design I will need to know my CofG height, and that means I will have to have my roof, floor, space frame and roll bar in the equation. The rubber that I intend to use is this stuff http://www.ci-band.com/ . It is very thin and so I can make it up in multiple layers. I want a rising rate and my gut feeling is that I can leave the rate rise to the properties of the rubber, provided that the geometry of the suspension does not give me a falling rate like angled coil over’s do. I will give a rough sketch to show you my ideas
