Technical Features & Benefits
ROLL CENTER:
The AME Tri-5 chassis is designed for optimum roll center stability under all conditions. The roll center is maintained almost perfectly thru the first 3 degree of body roll and beyond 3 degrees the roll center movement is minimized resulting in a suspension that isvastly improved over a Mustang II type suspension. And the rate of vertical movement is almost 1:1 with suspension movement, while the path it follows during transitions (braking, cornering, acceleration) is very smooth. This results in very consistent, stable and predictable vehicle handling.
CASTER:
Caster has been increased to +5 degrees (from normal +2degrees) to provide improved stability at speed. This also improves the tire contact patch and weight distribution under cornering.
CAMBER CURVE & ANTI-DIVE:
Due to the design of the control arm angles, camber control is enhanced throughout the four inches of suspension travel, while minimizing side movement of tire contact patch (side scrub). The side angle of the control arm contributes to increased anti-dive for better stability under hard braking, while serving to provide a smooth and supple ride.
BUMPSTEER:
The bumpsteer curve has been designed to match camber and caster curves. The vehicle will track straight with minimal steering correction—even on bumpy pavement.
RIDE HEIGHT:
Vehicle will be approximately 3-4 inches lower than stock. To make the vehicle any lower, the recommended method is to use dropped spindles.
