University of South Florida SAE SF-F3



Non-parallel, unequal length a-arms
Pushrod actuated linear adjustable damping
3.0 Hz front and 2.8 Hz rear sprung natural frequency
Ohlins ST-44 dampers
Rocker actuated adjustable anti-roll bar
15% anti-drive front and 10% anti-lift rear

Everything except for the dampers are completely custom. The dampers are customized, though, to our desired damping rate. The actual wheel rate of the car is only 90 lb/in, but the car only weighs about 580 lbs with the driver. We'll be taking this car to Detroit for the Formula SAE intercollegiate competition next week. Wish us good luck!

Feel free to ask questions or just come out to the shop and check it out.
