For spring rates lets say unsprong weight of the left front of the car is 300pounds. i would need a spring load of 150ibs to hold the car at ride height for 2 inch of suspention travel on a smooth track. but because of motion ratios i divide that in.
so 150/0.76 = 197 the shocker angle are 18...
i have another f2 that i currently use but are putting the shockers more up right on my new one. i have 250 257 front
185 225 rear
on that car. I thought the more upright they go the softer the springs needed?
there some smooth tracks some not. we...
Im dont know how to work out the spring rates that i need. I building a new car for next year. I race short oval stock car, it will weigh in at 625 kg, i dont know where to start or any sums etc. Any help will be VERY much appreciated.

tell me if im being think but under stand to divide by 4, but say i used 1:6 or that i dont really understand the calcuation.
wheel rate=spring rate x MR^2.
250*2.1 ?????????
ok if i choose a 2:1 ratio, the wheel comes up an 1 inch while the shock goes down 2 inch?? how do i work out wot spring i would need? sorry but im new to this.i normally use a 250 spring but thats on outboard suspension. ive ordered chassis Design - Principles and Analysis by Milliken and...
hi im building new race car and gonna try and put in board suspension on the front. my question is why use ratios like 2:1 and not just 1:1. secondly if i normally use a 250 spring and using a 2:1 ratio do i divide the spring by 2 which would make it a 125 spring?
