I am looking for advise on what a good starting point for spring rates at
the wheels or ball joints.
The car is 50/50 wieght distrib, and is approx 2200lbs.(cobra replica). I
did a quick calculation and I believe it (the spring rate at the ball joint)
to be in the area of 150 lbs in the front. 190 in the rear. Seems that the
front is a bit soft.
Anyone have some input on a good place to start. What are common #'s for
succesfull autocross cars.
Also, I have found formulas for measuring the spring rate at the ball joint.
Is this the proper place to measure spring rate?
I will also be adding front and rear bars.
David
