Spring Calculator
The model was put together to help me determine the characteristics of different
springs on my own 90 (which has a heavy front axle weight bias). If you find it
useful or see a way of improving it please let me know.
The goal was to find a set of springs that would permit a balanced articulation
with both front and rear reaching max avail articulation at about the same
time.
This is only an estimator and will not give valid results once full
articulation is reached on any corner.
Front and Rear loads are 'Sprung' weights.
While I've tended to use imperial measurements the estimator will work if
metric measures are used consistently
I've yet to get authorative 'standard height' compressed lengths but 10-10.5
inches front and 11-12 inches rear is the best estimate I've got so far
