Yaris wheel rate ratio (06+) ?
Hello,
Does anyone know the approximative convertion ratio for spring rate / wheel rate on a yaris 2006+ ? motion ratio... I would like to compare spring rates with the honda equivalent, in wich i have experience with. I don't know how to calculate it myself, and I am wondering if any of you guys knew about that ratio. For those wondering what the hell I am talking about...here is a quick explanation : Let's say you install 500lbs*inch springs on a SUBARU, It might feel very very very stiff driving the car. If you install the same 500 lbs springs on a Honda Accord, it might feel pretty ok. The difference here is in the suspension geometry design, wich result in a different wheel rate. For those numbers people : (**HYPOTHETIC NUMBERS, NOT REAL NUMBERS) subaru : 500lbs * 1.0 motion ratio = 500 lbs wheel rate accord : 500lbs * 0.7 motion ration = 350 lbs wheel rate... The feeling won't be the same. So, i would like to know the motion ratio of the Yaris, to know what I am buying and looking for as springrates for my yaris... thanks P |
