Heavier RF Spring Changes What on entry?

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

If you do your homework, you can calculate what spring rate is required for each wheel. Spring rates are dictated by several factors: wheel rate, suspension type, spring frequency, sprung and unsprung weight, center of gravity height, front and rear roll centers, the length of the moment arm, and the total amount of weight that needs to be transferred. Proper weight transfer is a must. Ex: RF wheel rate 950 (dynamic cornering) RR wheel rate 950 (dynamic cornering) changing spring rates on the car to fix handling issues is just a band aid when you should have stitches.

Available travel would be paramount among these.

I'd have to disagree with being able to calculate proper spring rate on a dirt car. There are to many variable's . track conditions alone make it seem like an impossible feat. Let alone the many different driver profiles. I just can't agree. That's before we get into chassis construction and all the mess involved there

Yes indeed.

Nice thread. Proper travel and the rate at which it travels is paramount IMO. Determining the proper suspension frequency is very very important and is difficult in getting the right split front to rear with a 4 bar suspension. One reason I'm a believer in stacking the right front.

What exactly does stacking the right front mean?

go look at some data acquisition

Look at who is posting that and what his contributions to this forum have ever been.

Stacking a spring is done on a coil over which modifieds don't have and most modified rules if not all don't allow by wording the rules one spring per corner.

Sorry I was thinking about a late model.
