Need suspension program testers.
I have posted a few hints about this, but I have been working on a suspension simulation program in Excel. I did this because working in Excel has some real advantages; mainly that is updates instantly and is easy to use. This program will be able to calculate camber curves and steering angle changes (bumpsteer) versus suspension travel. (I will also add castor and possible some other functions as I find time.) I have the sheet to the point that I believe the camber curve is correct. I have been fighting this for a few days, and it hit me today. I am still working on the toe, but I believe that is the same problem I was having with camber.
This is what I'm looking for: I need a few people that have access to commercial suspension packages to confirm that my program is spitting out the same camber curve. I have a program myself, but I want to triple check before I make this program widely available. At the same time, I would also like some comments on how easy it is to use and what other features I should look at.
For any volunteers, please keep in mind that this is a grassroots effort, and I still have a lot of work to do to make it presentable. I need someone that is willing to ignore some of that now, and be patient over the next days as I clean it up.
If you are willing to help, please send me an email

This file is right around 4 megs by the way. When it's finished, I will make it available to anyone who wants it with one condition: if you make improvements, I ask that you share these. I want this program to free and open to all.
Thanks
Ken

One person from the Pro-Touring site has volunteered to check it over. I have to reload my program at home because it is coming up with some strange errors. I also have it loaded at work, and that one seems to be working better. I'll let you know when it is ready.
FYI...The simulation will be highly dependent on your ability to measure your car's suspension points.
