I came across this website but they are using a different car and trying to plug in numbers that is already posted in this site. Thank you so much and you guys are awesome! Not really sure if I can use the formula that the guy had in there but i don’t have the numbers like axle weight and wheel weight. Could this be applicable in our car?

That approach (choosing suspension frequencies first) is a good first step in setting up a car. It's just a first step and there's much more to think about. That analysis did not mention swaybars for example, which can contribute a significant amount to roll resistance.
There are a lot of "rules of thumb" but none of them are perfect! Decent starting points though.
