GTR spring rates
Discussion
what spring rates does a GTR use?
I built a gtr with a bmw v12 and built a lot of stuff I should have bought from Ultima
so I had to decide what rate of spring to put in.
I did the math to achieve the same frequency at the front and back of the car that the Mclaren F1 has;
80 cycles per minute at the front and 92 cpm at the back. I ended up with 200 lb per in. springs at the front and 300 lb per in at the back. This is way less than I remember on my trip to see Ted, I think he uses
600 lb per in. on all four corners. I did install an
anti roll bar at the front reducing the need for high spring rates at the front.
so what spring do you guys use for street use?
