Brian, the way you did that results in the squared version of the MR, right? I've seen both the acutal lever arm ratio and the square used as Motion Ratio before, but of course the squared version is the only one that matters.

So, that would mean srqt(.94) = .97, which is the lever ratio of the suspension, correct? For instance, double-wishbone Hondas are around .7, which squared is .49, so a 500lb spring for me gets a similar wheel rate that a 1000lb spring would get on the Honda, ignoring the progressive effects of the suspension.
