I've built up a suspension frequency calculator in the last couple of days since the old S1 version didn't work very well on my computer (I don't have Excel).
It seems to give pretty much the same values as the previous one, though I have calculated the damping slightly differently.
Anyway, in an attempt to recover my previous speed at BWGP in the XF GTi I downloaded some WR setups and looked at them in my spreadsheet.
The suspension frequencies were around 3.2Hz and both axles were near critical damping. The setup, however, worked much better than the one I was using which had frequencies of about 2Hz and damping 80% of critical as suggested in the advanced setup guide.
So, what's wrong? All the rules of thumb I've seen for suspension setup seem to be wrong.
