[QUOTE="ac427cobra, post: 11146587, member: 6247"] Teej: I never calculated the wheel rates, or even cared for that matter. Calculations worked out on paper don't always work out in the field. In my case, I was looking for maximum handling. My car ended up 450 front and 550 rear. My rear was a tick loose and instead of softening the rear more, because it was already too soft for the dip at the apex at Gingerman in turn 11, I decided to stiffen the front sway bar instead. That was just the trick I was looking for. This was all done with my SOTP dyno and a lap timer. I do my own corner balancing, bumpsteer and alignments. A lot can be done for handling with alignments as well. Everyone likes a different feel in their car. I had the opportunity for Joe Foster to drive my car at Road America when he was the guest speaker for the Windy City BMW instructors (at one of the events) and he liked it. So it can't be too bad! :-D :thumbsup::coolman::beer: [/QUOTE]
