Hi Bob,

Correct. I left out the CPS designation. (nothing like confusing the folks with goofy information)

I always design to spring frequency. the numbers that I gave Craig are on the high side as used for sports cars. Standard road cars are lower by 20% or there abouts.

the equation for wheel rate is:

Wheelrate=(motionRatio)2 X spring rate.

For instance the rear of the JBL is as follows:

142.56 (LBS)= .5184 X 275


I would think the front wheel rates in the area of 275-325(LBS) would be correct for most Cobras.

Sorry for the confusion.
