Track Suspension

[Loren]

I'd add the caution here that this might not be the smoothest riding street suspension over big bumps. With a 400# spring, you're not going to have much more than 1" of compression under the weight of the car. That means that your droop limiter has to retain the spring at a mere 1" of droop. Fine for competition, but possibly rough for the street.

i should have kept the motion ratio in mind when doing my calcs.

rough motion ratio is .7, so you'd actually compress 1.64" at static.
