Suspension Suspension Suspension!!!! HELP

Andy--For stiffness it is Wheel Rate; not Spring Rate.

You have to look at the suspension geometry. If a rear spring is mounted in board on a car with a control arm IRS set-up, the wheel rate can be sometimes less than half of the Spring Rate.

Accordingly, if you hear high rate in the back, don't be that startled. Just get a consesus of quick drivers running the same car.

Thats what I need is clarification on these things that’s why Im asking to get a better understanding of the techniques behind it.
Is there anything else I need to know? Thanks
