Robin,
Looks good to me, please do me a favour and check the front d1/d2 ratio on you car. Measure the spring length, or distance between the eye bolts with the coil-over removed, then place a block of wood under the wheel and measure again. I used a 2" block and divided the answer by 2, in other words if the wheel strokes 2 inches how much does the spring compress - its the same thing. You should get the same value as you calculated. I wonder if you added the king-pin length to your d2 length? I really would expect yours to be similar to mine. In fact most cars are 2/3, squared less than 1/2. At the moment it all looks a bit stiff, I think the car would shake your fillings out!

Cheers,
Martin
