Got some 10" springs with .437 wire dia, what is my spring rate?
We need to know a few things...... We need the number of active coils (total of coils less 2 for the end coils), also, we need to know the material used to make the coils. Different materials have different tensil strength etc. If we can get that info, we could plug that info in and see what we get. Although, the only truth is a good spring checker. Springs can degrade. The formula method estimates the springs at 100%
Actually, material strength doesn't enter into it at all. The web is loaded with plenty of coil spring rate calculators but the one at Wallaceracing.com will do: http://www.pontiacracing.net/js_coil_spring_rate.htm
