Suspension Geometry finalized
Concept 3 selected
Desired Motion ratio established
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.

Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
(3/9, IP) A modal analysis of road disturbances would be nice if time permits, but definitely a "nice to have" task and not a "need to have" for this project - noted
(3/9, IP) Try to use nuts and bolts instead of tapped holes for control arm pickup points if we can - noted
