Umm... Could you explain what exactly it is that you're trying to figure out? I think there's a bit of a language barrier as it were.
If you're asking what I think you're asking it's just trigonometry and it's included wheel rate. If your spring is 10deg from vertical, the effective spring rate at the lower attachment point would be k*cos(10deg). The same thing would apply to damper forces as well.
