Is there a formula to determine spring rates when you shorten a spring? The Afco 2 5/8" springs that Greg Blake has pointed out come in 8, 10, 12 and 14 inch free lengths. I want a 9" free length spr

The windings does infect the spring rate. The formula is: D = (G * dD^4) / (8 *dF^3 *n) [N/mm] dD = wire diameter [mm] dF = Spring diameter at wire center [mm] n = number of windings G = Modul [N/mm2

I beg to differ. Think about it this way. If you have a piece of spring steel 20 feet long and extend it between two fixed points and then apply a weight to the center, it will droop a given amount.

Ah, but it does. Say for example you start with two 400 lb/in springs and stack them together. Apply 400 pounds, and the stack deflects by 2 inches (making it a 200 lb/in stack). Separate the spring

If you shorten it by compressing and heating, leaving the coil count the same, that is true. If you physically cut the spring and change the coil count, it does get stiffer. mjb. ___________________

so an 8" long, 500 lb per inch spring is a different wire size than a 10" long, 500 lb/inch spring, assuming the metallurgy and coil diameter? Ah, but it does. Say for example you start with two 400

Yeah, I wasn't thinking. Coil springs are torsion bars, make them shorter and the rate goes up. the _______________________________________________ fot@autox.team.net Donate: http://www.team.net/dona

Maybe, maybe not. You'll notice that in the various forms of the spring rate equations free length is not a factor. The two springs you mention may have the exact same wire diameter and number of coi

So it looks like the ticket is to buy the AFCO 8" 700 lb coil over springs and use a couple of 1/2" spacers to get my 9 " free length back. Then, if that is not enough rear spring, to go to the 10" 7

Bob and list. We have springs made for us - ran about 2000 pieces in the last 2 years - so we are somewhat conversant with this topic. Our TR6 uprated street springs will increase rate by about 8 psi

If you want to get real fancy, you can get bump stops with progressive rates. I have two different length/rate bumpstops in the top of my tool box, plus a different set on my Miata. You can also spac

They work just fine in right handers if you put them in upside down. But then left handers are a bit of a sticky wicket. mjb. _______________________________________________ fot@autox.team.net Donate
