[QUOTE="WhippleBlowJob, post: 8036405, member: 38793"] Hmm....I could not say for sure, but is SEEMS logical to assume that cut stockers in the rear would prevail in solving some wheel hop issues over aftermarkets is due to the fact of the stockers being linear rate as opposed to progressive rate. As you know progressive rate lowering springs have a softer compression right off the bat therefore making them easier to compress (i.e. easier for the wheel to hop off the ground until the spring is compressed to a tension that it would push the wheel back onto the ground) where as a linear rate stock with 600lb/in rates will hold the wheel down better without having to be compressed to reach said tension. A progressive spring (now im pulling this number out of my ass) may only have 450lb/in tension with the car sitting at its set ride height. Know what I mean? So given those numbers, it would take 150lb/in MORE pressure to pick a wheel up off the pavement with a linear rate stock spring than an aftermarket. Does that make sense? And yes....keep up the "The ENTER key is my friend" mantra....I believe in you! :beer: [/QUOTE]
