1. Spring Rates (score: 1): Author: "John Price" <jprice1@txcyber.com>; Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2004 10:40:35 -0600; OK, amici, chew on this: 1. You have a coil spring with a 13" free length and a rate of 130#. 2. You cram that spring onto a shock damper and end up with an installed spring length of 12". The questi; /html/fot/2004-01/msg00122.html (7,056 bytes)

The one inch compression is preload. You won't see the effect if the shock is mounted and weighted by the car--in th; /html/fot/2004-01/msg00125.html (7,764 bytes)

4. Re: Spring Rates (score: 1): Author: "John Wilkins" <john@race-dogs.com>; Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2004 17:20:09 -0800; Don't forget about the angle the Spring is being installed at. Spitfire Frt. springs are appx. 45 degree which affects the Spring rate substantially. Don't know much about the TVR. John Wilkins "66 T; /html/fot/2004-01/msg00131.html (8,528 bytes)
5. Re: Spring Rates (score: 1): Author: William G Rosenbach <wgrosenbach@juno.com>; Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2004 00:02:23 -0700; Doesn't the angle of the spring affect the wheel rate since the spring has no idea it is at an angle?

6. RE: Spring Rates (score: 1): Author: Bill Babcock <BillB@bnj.com>; Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2004 23:09:49 -0800; Yup. The effective spring rate is reduced when the spring is at an angle to the movement but of course the spring itself doesn't change. At 45 degrees it's about 70 percent of the spring rate. --Orig; /html/fot/2004-01/msg00135.html (9,632 bytes)
7. Re: Spring Rates (score: 1): Author: Larry Young <cartravel@pobox.com>; Date: Fri, 09 Jan 2004 07:54:17 -0600; It's not just the angle, but the fact the spring is not at the end of the A-arm, so there is a lever ratio to consider. I can't remember numbers anymore, but it is somewhere around 0.50 for the TR3/4; /html/fot/2004-01/msg00136.html (7,191 bytes)
8. Spring Rates (score: 1): Author: "John Price" <jprice1@txcyber.com>; Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2003 22:06:08 -0600; I'm doing some research on spring rates vs car weights. Would you guys mind checking in and letting me know what your car weighs and what spring rates you're running? Front and rear, please. John Pr; /html/fot/2003-11/msg00030.html (6,272 bytes)
