Since there was no existing suspension data available for these vehicles with regard to suspension pickup points and mounting locations, we needed to create it before any computer modeling could be performed for the Level II Suspension. To do this, a FaroArm Coordinate Measuring Machine ("CMM") was used. A CMM device is used to measure in three dimensions and allows the data to be imported into CAD applications to develop a 3D model.

Once this was done, suspension engineers designed front and rear components that met our core criteria and could be packaged in the vehicle. Multiple simulations were run using state of the art software, to optimize vehicle dynamics and suspension geometries.

Once prototype components were fabricated to ensure packaging on the actual vehicles, the specific components needed were designed in CAD. Additional computer simulations were then performed to evaluate the strength of individual components for the intended application, which would further be validated by on track testing.
