Do you guys have any thoughts on working/teaching about the concept of 'frequency' into more ordinary suspension discussions?
I understand it is something that you need to sort out for each car, but ballpark figures for average weight models with stock springs could be used as the baseline. (Stock Imprezaru F/R 5kg/5kg Relative Stiffness 60/70 CPM* vs Modded FRZ 4.5kg/6.3kg RS 106/111 CPM)
It would introduce the concept of 'relative stiffness' to readers so new-to-suspension people could start to develop a better/more accurate understanding than just quoting F/R spring rates, since it takes spring rate, mass and motion ratio into a single figure.
*Cycles Per Minute. Or Hertz could be used.
