How do you know what the perfect spring rate is for a car? How do you know if the car is under or over springed?

trial and error. different tracks and surfaces dictate more less rate.
through trail and error findings by other F-body racers here we seem to have it pinned down. but then again, is there downforce involved or not. so there is no absolute w/ the number of variables. street car? 550-600F/175-200R track car? what class? CMC? 650-900F/200-300R AI? who knows. auto-cross car? what class? combo of any above? how much "perfect" can your ass tack on the street? my tolarance my be higher than yours. give us more info. |
