Subject: Re: [Fot] Paging Tom Krieger re: rear springs
I just did some rough measurements on a trailing arm. Pivot point to tire patch
is 22 inches. Pivot point to center of spring perch is 11 inches. Now I am no
math genius but that would tell me that effective spring rate is half of the
spring rating you are using.
BTW Kas, Sam is the only TR6 that I know of that has utilized the SCCA rules to
improve the rear suspension. I am still suffering with the (to quote Bill)
Monkey Motion stock suspension.
Mike
