Vehicle Setup Calculators
Spring & Wheel Rates
Purpose:
As on the previous page, we really want to know our spring rate at the wheel. This will be what the driver is really experiencing and gives a better understanding of how stiff/soft our vehicle is in relation to others.
Goal:
From knowing the wheel rate over the spring rate, we can begin to understand how to balance our car for better handling and how to improve overall grip.
Please see our summary section to see where you can go from here with this information.
