Suspension setup and checking sheet

I have been having a few issues with my suspension, well it is a Disco, and being a bit of geek I created the following excel worksheet to help check:

1) the amount of drop I was getting in each corner over a set period of time
2) how far out of tolerance the suspension was, seems my one maybe leaning on the NSR


If you want a copy PM me.

<UPDATE> - or click on the following link to download it http://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/albums/use...k_v002.zip
Revisions:
001 - Original draft
002 - Locked cells and added an option for more vehicles (recommended by 'anglefire')
[i]<UPDATE>


Going to get it leveled up in the next week so I will let if it makes a difference to the handling.

Fantastic, thanks for the tip anglefire. Link added to the original post along with version 002 to allow more vehicles.

Can anyone let me know where I can get the suspension heights for the Disco4 (if its different to the 3), RR and RRS. Once I have these I can update the workbook and re-post it.
