Today a lot of street-legal vehicles and off-road rigs run modern coil spring suspensions. Coil springs in their various formats have a number of advantages over traditional leaf springs and torsion ...

Suspension handling is always a compromise between a good ride and good performance. Today's systems can provide both, but a little understanding of what factors affect spring rate can help you ...

For both appearance and handling, it is often desirable to lower the front end of a car or truck. As with most vehicle modifications, there are right and wrong ways to go about it. Many enthusiasts ...

When designing the suspension and ride characteristics of most factory cars engineers are primarily concerned that grandmothers won't spill their coffee or complain about poor ride quality. The result ...

Coil-sprung suspension is a low-stiction, low-maintenance approach to suspending your mountain bike, with less heat build-up than air suspension. However, unlike air suspension (where you just ...

Spring rate remains about linear (Hooke's Law) until gradual coil dampening and loss boost rate. Make free length a reference dimension so spring makers can adjust it as needed to obtain load at a ...
