Can anyone explain the proper way to determine the side view instant centers? I've read Milliken and Carroll Smith, and any attempts they made just confused me. How important is this point anyway? I've searched quite a bit on here and haven't found any meaningful discussion about them. I'm not really planning on running any anti-dive or squat, but I'd like to make sure I'm not creating a pro-dive/squat situation.
I'm using the OptimumK software right now, and I've got things fairly well under control for bump, roll, and steering inputs, but anything related to pitch throws everything out the window. I end up with outrageous things like 40 degrees of negative camber and 80 inch front view roll center movements. I don't think my suspension points can possibly be that bad, so maybe it's a completely separate issue with the software, but I just don't understand the side view stuff much anyway. Can anyone give me some ideas?
