Thinking about springs
Anyone here gone through a process of checking suspension springs?
Book says
Unloaded length ~ (approximately) 255mm
[So my springs seem to fit that specification]
Length when loaded with 435 +/- 12 kg => 177mm
[Why 435kg? I guess that must be the expected weight of the front end of the car?]
Length when fully compressed => max 113mm
[Iīve got an expensive internal spring compressor for a Mercedes that would enable me to do this but really it seems a bit OTT even for me]
Loading required for compression of 1cm Measured within spring range 155 - 200mm => 59 +/- 2kg
[Hmmmm - how would I...]
Useful information that is quite hard to use in practice...
#########
So the point of this post - is there an official ride height specification for the PV?
I canīt find that even in the section for tracking adjustments - many vehicle manufacturers specify ride height before you start messing about with castor camber and toe...
