The new springs won't be linear either, and yes, an educated guess is exactly what that gets you(you should see a few other things it's not accounting for).

Until you get someone to measure the unsprung weight I don't see how you'll get much better, and if anyone ever does that it will probably be a race-prepped one.


bobolinko:

The xD is basically the same as the yaris, but it's a heavier. So if you look at the spring rate page on the microimage forums you should get an idea of what is softer. But honestly I would get some 16" wheels, it will probably make more of a difference.
