Can anyone help me understand the physics of Spring Pre-load as it relates to a linear-rate spring? I am having trouble figuring out how pre-loading the spring would affect the net spring-stiffness at all in a linear rate spring. Other than to precisely control travel, why would you ever adjust pre-load in this situation? Anyone know? Thanks! __________________ Buy My Car! \| Build Thread
