RE: question

Ben,   It depends on the car i.e. IRS etc? On a 1600 most of the good handling dirt versions have slightly softer springs in the rear. When you look at the poundage rates on a 1600 allow for the spring to corner ratio on the rears which as around .26:1 and on the front with stock struts the rate is 1:1. i.e. 200# front springs are the same as ~800# rear springs. On a 1600 RC a good starting rate is 175# front and 600# rear.   regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ben Sent: Friday, 3 May 2002 12:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: question bit of a strange question. my brother has sent me his RC car to rebuild for him. im just setting up all the suspension at the moment. just wondering, with a normal car setup, are the rear springs stiffer than the front, or is it the other way round?? --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
