I figured that you guys would know the best place to find this data. Where are the best links to Fiero suspension geometry in any form? I can move this info to tech links if there are any worthy.

Is what I found so far. I know that I have seen others.
I have been tempted to start an open source reverse engineering site to host user supplied measurements and drawings of every car part out there. The auto industries head would explode.

Will and I has been working on custom knuckles, I'm sure Will is much further along than I am though. Blooze has a ton of good drawings on his page, I don't think you'll find anything more detailed than that though.

Blooz has great drawings. They are obvs for '88 cars. No parallel data exists for early cars. There is some limited info in the shop manual about positions of reference points for the purpose of evaluating a Fiero tub for straightness following a collision.
I have partial CMM data for early and '88 rear knuckles as well as '88 front knuckles. I intend to get early spindles done as well, but I've been focusing on getting The Mule running.

I had an 88 rear upright professionally scanned by a shop that does aerospace work.
No entities other than the mesh but you can create them easily enough.

I am working on '88 front and rear knuckles that will take Corvette 5x4.75 as well as a 5x114.3 hub. I don't have a lot of free time to work on these things so don't ask when they'll be done... it may be years.

When will they be done?

That's a great scan! I bet that cost a pretty penny!
