all very good information. on interjection: you can't compare spring rates on one type of car to spring rates on another. the WHEEL rate is what matters; that's the effective spring rate at the tire. that's based on spring rate, suspension geometry, tire make / model / size, and tire pressure. springs that are stiff on one type of car may be soft on another simply because there is mechanical leverage at the spring actuator (by design).
