Despite what everyone else thinks, every suspension is rising rate.

Think of it this way...

Once the suspension bottoms out or the coil springs have touched, the spring rate has gone up no matter what you think.

Get used to it.

Now go ponder this before you get together with a bunch of old farts who know this already.

Sorry - but the rising rate of a bunch of old farts is much lower - no matter what they already know!!!!!

So how many turns do you go past coil bind on the spring rate checker to get to infinity :confused:

Tell 'em "Mike with the red cars" sent you. Then ask if you can sit in the LFA.
