coilover spring rates
Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2005 10:06 pm
we have some dobbins coilovers (old type with 5 way adjustment) measuring....between coil retainers (with the adjuster nut right to the bottom of the shock)
extended....710mm
compressed......375mm
as far as we can work out the rear of the zook weighs between 130kgs
and 160kgs.
does anyone know how to work out the spring rate ? eg length, no of coils
, diameter of coils.
and who can make em soonish?
the zook barely drives on the road, most is trial and rock.
it also has no slider, so just a single spring.
