[QUOTE="desert_gypsy, post: 9281667, member: 81867"] That's absolutely correct. The lower spring rate in the back allows more weight to transfer to the drive wheels during acceleration. Combining the low rear spring rate with easy down shocks in the rear and easy up shocks in the front will drastically improve rearward weight transfer during acceleration. Another reason for the low spring rate in the rear, could be due to a significantly higher wheel rate in the rear. Wheel rate is simply a force multiplication factor which is determined by how close to the contact patch centerline the spring acts on the control arm. Anyone who can offer any clarification on this would be greatly appreciated :) [/QUOTE]
