Track Junky. I think we talked last week about rates. We use SAE formulas to calculate the spring rates we give out. The rate I gave you includes a 20% reduction to account for compliance in bushings, end links and frame mounts. This factor has correlated fairly well between real world testing and calculated rates. The rate of our 1-1/8" tubular bar without any loss is 750 lb/in.
