Anyone have any kind of aftermarket springs or coilover setups that want to share their springs rates and how they came about knowing what to get?
My car is a Miata with custom coilover setup and I need to figure out what spring rate to use? I want the car to handle well but be soft enough for street driving. I have a limit of about 3- 3 1/2" wheel travel to keep the wheel well gap to a minimum. Anyone know how to figure this out?
I will be using springs probably the HAL QA1 from Summit.

 

how about joining a miata forum, since we really don't care what you're doing with a miata, and our spring rates and suggestions are based on the weight of our cars, which won't help you much.

 

spring rate is used to achieve a wheel rate. Wheel rate is based on suspension design, sway bars and spring rate. You can find information on how to calculate these things but going to a Miata board would be easier.
