Robert's Reventon Chassis Works build. Freaking finally
Robert:
I spent some time out in my garage today.

Trust me, 400 lbs springs is the minimum for such kind of a car. I would use anything between 400 and 600 lbs. During a sudden stop or high speed cornering over 90% of the car's mass will immediately transfer to the front end, thus the front/rear weight ratio will play quite a small role.
01Lambiero:
How did you determine the spring rate for your front suspension? 400# seems a tad stiff. Of course, probably no two cars will have the same frt/rr weight ratio but I figure mine will be close to 40/60. Here is a website to figure the spring rates if you care to give it a try.

Thank you Lambo brothers! I still have a long way to go.
