ISO - Motion Ratio Number?

Suspension nerds enter. Has anyone measured themselves? I speak better in wheel rate.

After searching a bit I've seen a few posts generalizing the strut as 1:1 and the rear as 1.5:1. I know better on the front since it varies with the SAI/camber/etc.

I would think the width of the wheel would matter along the camber/SAI. I am no expert but I think if you have 0 scrub radius with the strut suspension you would have a 1:1 notion ratio. I'm pretty sure the strut is moving the same amount as the wheel pretty much all the time

No matter what, the front MR can't be much. There is no lever action since the strut sits right in the knuckle and lower arm.

My .02. In for the experts comments! Lol

Yeah, I hear ya. It's just throwing me off seeing spring rates so rear biased. I think I read somewhere the Z28 is right at 300/500. Knowing what I'm doing to the tire will help.

Keep in mind the ZERO Point for the DSSV is about 150 pounds.
