[QUOTE="ET43, post: 17377, member: 62"] Howard, You cannot alter the spring rate by winding out the SP4's. All you will do is to use the same amount of travel of the spring given that the same weight is applied. I thought that the quest here was to stiffen up Albervin's suspension so that it would not bottom out. He therefor needs to increase the preload, and if that is not possible, then he needs stronger springs. I have been sat at this computer for almost three hours trying to think of a polite way to respond to your glorious statements in red. As diplomacy is not a word I am familiar with, I will not respond with answers that will prolong this thread. I know that what I have postulated, works for me, and at least I understand it if nobody else does. Thank You, Phil Primmer. [/QUOTE]
