How To Pick The Right Spring Rate - Rated A For Fun

To account for varying loads and road conditions, Chassisworks says that a street car must have between 5 to 7 inches of wheel travel to maintain smooth ride quality. Since the springs and shocks mount farther inward and travels in a shorter arc than the wheels, the typical shock used on an A-arm-style suspension has just 3 to 4 inches of total travel. That leaves very little room for error when attempting to set the suspension to operate in a shock's ideal operating range. View Related Article
