Homepage Poll: Srping rate comparison of front and rear springs
#3
Equal is what I am going for. I am thinking of a vehicle's suspension twisting, if one end twists and the other does not, there is leverage and it becomes a pivotal point.
so lets say the front or rear is flexing while the other is stiff. once the softer rated spring maxes out the leverage transfers to the next flex point- the stiffer spring. This can be dangerous as when the vehicle flops, it does so with more force than a flop.

but, as one wheels their vehicle they begin to understand the spring rate's behavior.
