good idea dan, only problem is i gotta find something heavy enough and stable enough to balance on the spring wheile measuring/reading... lol

and stevie, id say thats very high for a renault 5 with an engine in the back lol.
the weight on the front wheels is an average of 230kgs per wheel.

the spring was verticle, or as near as.
and i measured the compression of the car, it was a rough estimate.


im going to strip the suspension apart at the weekend to measure the unsprung weight and do the spring test above.
i will also measure the thickness, height and amount of coils on the spring to see if i can work it out that way too.

cheers guys
