Spring Rates
Martin - OK will do.
Patrick - good luck with the coil overs. The calculation will be different for you because the spring will be in a diffenrt place. Two commencts I would like to make that I hope you will find usefull.
1. Have you checked with Marlin that the shock mounting tower is strong enough to thake the weight of the car continuously?
2. Dont forget the differnce between the un-laden and laden weight of the Sportster. With no fuel and no-one sitting in it it weighs about 800kG's. Two people and a full tank of fuel could add an extra 200kg's (depending on how fat your passengers are!) Most of this extra weight will appear over the rear wheels
Cheers
Robin
