Chris, On a 1600? it's 1:3.8 for zero offset wheels (just to be technically correct), although there is very little difference if the rear wheels have an offset in the range of +- .5"
This means that the average 700# heavy duty lowered rear spring has a static spring rate in the order of 185# (Just about right if you have 200# in front). The ratio for struts is all but 1:1 and for coil overs it is around 1:.9 regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Chris King Sent: Thursday, 19 September 2002 6:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: rear suspension ratio Does anyone know the exact ratio in the rear suspension between the spring and the actual wheel movement? I remember being some talk about it a while back mabey around 1:3 ???
