- Question for all the (other) suspension geeks out there. It's well known that hollow sway bars and/or torsion bars are popular because they are lighter than solid bars for a given stiffness. It stand

- Cost might have something to do with it, but I think that it's more of a matter of durability. With torsion bars and sway bars, the spring is being acted upon in such a way that all of the force put

- yes, both :) usually for springs in a simple model one assumes that 50% is sprung, and 50% is unsprung mass.. but if you want to be accurate then it gets LOTS more complex, and I'm sure noone here wo

- Half and half. Moo. Seriously, half the masses of spings are generally put into calculations for the effects of unsprung mass on handling. Phil Ethier Saint Paul Minnesota USA Lotus Europa, VW Quant
