However it is unclear to me what units these tuning parameters use:

Code: 

class btVehicleTuning{public:btVehicleTuning(): m_suspensionStiffness(btScalar(5.88)),  m_suspensionCompression(btScalar(0.83)),  m_suspensionDamping(btScalar(0.88)),  m_maxSuspensionTravelCm(btScalar(500.)),  m_frictionSlip(btScalar(10.5)),  m_maxSuspensionForce(btScalar(6000.)){}btScalar m_suspensionStiffness;btScalar m_suspensionCompression;btScalar m_suspensionDamping;btScalar m_maxSuspensionTravelCm;btScalar m_frictionSlip;btScalar m_maxSuspensionForce;};
E.g. I expected the suspensions stiffness to be specified in N/m. However this does not appear to be the case. What are the units used for these parameters?
