I'm just going to use the average of those weights as a jumping off point to get spring rates for my rear true type coilovers. I have learned the key factor between true type or divorced setups and a bucket type is about wheel rate. The aero part is about loading on the springs as it relates to downforce.

The other part of the aero equation for me is the impact on the front aero or splitter and canards. As you know my car is high horsepower so I want to maximize the benefit of the aero I have. As stated previously my question to Awesome Performance Racing is would front splitter diffusers be a benefit to my current setup? That being said the conversation so far has been on spring rates as stated. Once I have that information I think we can talk about aero and what provides a benefit or not and how to setup and test angle of attack and raising, lowering the car and to rear diffuser or not and why. I am all ears and trying to learn the basics of this game and journey down the go fast rabbit hole! Please impart any wisdom you are willing to share.

Why use other peoples' corner weights instead of just putting your car on a set of scales? I have to imagine you'd be able to find someone to let you borrow a set of scales from.
Hotrodz and Brendan like this.
