RE: Relocating L/Control Arm Pivot Points

[Terry Rudd]

Peter,   Would you believe that the stock front spring on a 1600 is 80lbs and the rear is 300lbs, both have ~7" travel and load each corner around 550lbs. Most heavy duty springs offered are 5" travel and ~150lbs - 175lbs for front and 550lbs - 700lbs rear and load each corner around 800lbs. You need around 200lbs x 4" to lift front wheels on a 1600 and combined with 800lbs rears you'll get a corner load of ~1000lbs, Nismo Euro springs were in this area, they made a variety of 4" - 8" or so travel for various forms of motor sport.   The fulcrum ratio on the rear suspension on a 1600 is approximately 3.8 so Dan meant to say his rears were around 650lbs. The stock SSS spring was 100lbs x 6" travel front and 400lbs x 6" travel on the rear.   regards Terry (baffle them with numbers) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Freeze Sent: Friday, 1 March 2002 8:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Relocating L/Control Arm Pivot Points Dan Don't the 16's run 180 pound fronts as standard, and 175 rears is way to light Peter ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 6:26 PM Subject: Relocating L/Control Arm Pivot Points Hey List Has anyone had sucess with this ? I know the 68' models had a higher pivot point on the front xmember and I'm considering taking the engineering plunge one day. Relocating the pivot point upward by 1 inch. . Spring rates I'm planning will be 150# front and 175#rear with 25mm fr. sway bar , 13mm rear (adj.) any suggestions ideas ?Thanks   Dan   Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
