Explaining Lift Kit Spring Rates
|
Stone-stock, factory springs can be surprisingly supple. Especially if they’re decades old and have lost most, if not all, of their temper. They are not, however, confidence-inspiring under heavy braking or hard cornering. Suspension manufacturers can produce flexible springs as well, but, since their springs usually also provide lift, they must have a higher rate than stock to compensate for the higher vehicle center-of-gravity, thereby keeping the roll rate under safe control.
