Geordie, As has already been pointed out to me, It should be distance from pivot to ball joint, over pivot to wheel centre distance to be correct. Then divide the spring rate by the result. This is the reciprocal of the way I did it. :-). Result is the same.

Ben,
Here goes,
Spring rates relate directly to corner weight and leverage ratio on control arms. To make any sense of spring rates you need to work out the effective spring

 Any comments or flames?
