Re: Make it handle
Something I haven't seen in this thread, or any other for that matter, is any experience with dual rate springs on the coilovers. Bikes have been running dual rate and even triple rate springs for years, decades even, just curious why they seem to be a rarity in automotive applications. Concept is simple enough, dedicate about 70% of your spring length to the primary spring rate and the remaining 30% to either a softer initial spring or a firmer final rate, the former being intended to soften up the typical ride and the latter intended to prevent bind on a hard compress. The 2 springs are stacked on top of each other.
The image shows the Eibach spring stack with a progressive soft initial spring and a linear constant rate main spring, would these not be adaptable to the typical Ridetechs? |
