"Wheel Rate is the actual rate of a spring acting at the tire contact patch" Simplifying the exercise by using 90 degree spring angle, motion ratio of approximately 0.65 front and 0.55 rear, I am getting wheel rate of 3.6kg and 2.8kg respectively. So, at the OEM spring location, the front is still heavier sprung than the rear. This is my simple understanding.
