Good suspension geometry is not different for different vehicles per say. My question was for what folks would call ideal without the confines of a particular body style. This comes down to physics and dynamics. The way a suspension system works has nothing to do with what sheet metal is wrapped around it. (Except for how that sheet metal affects weight and balance) So to clear this up a bit more. Lets just say we are all able to build a tube chassis ACME Hot Rod (Think Old Road Runner Cartoons Here!) What would the ideal front geometry be for the 3 areas I listed in the first post? Oh and to some degree I agree with driver skill and confidence, but a confident driver does not make say...........an old Willys Jeep handle "WELL" at Road Atlanta or on an autocross course.
But I get your point.
