A complicated answer that I do know is: - Find out the Nm/º stiffness of the sway bar (may be able to calculate from its diameter)
- You calculate how much leverage the end links have on the sway bar at ride height (accounting for the angle between the sway bar and the end links)
- You account for the motion ratio of the end link
- To answer "how much spring is this equivalent to", you also need to account for the motion ratio of the strut
Something like this super-complicated calculator might help if you find all the right measurements for your car. |
Aren't the motion ratios preserved if the lengths of the arms and pickup points are the same? The RLCA has 3 holes to choose from to mount the shock. I believe middle hole provides stock leverage, but I'd have to go read through the manual to be sure. Unless something else changes the motion ratios?
