Anyway, I'll just add that motion ratios play a pretty big roll in this. The front of our cars, for all intents and purposes, uses a 1:1 ratio. (Yes, ZDan, I know it's not quite 1:1 but it's close enough for this discussion. Put the dogs back in their cage, please.  ) But the back of this car is much less than that so a stiffer spring is required to accomplish the same roll resistance. |
I read the sticky that RCE posted about motion ratios, so when in reality since the rear isn't a 1:1, the 6k spring really isn't a 6k spring, more like a 3.5-4k spring?
