Just curious.....
To induce oversteer.
What way should spring ratios be set up?
Stiffer front or rear springs??????????????
Although heavily influenced by sway bars.... ignoring that just for this debate.
I have been told by a few that stiffer fronts will induce oversteer..
But a friend believes that heavier rears would induce oversteer.
As softer springs have more weight transfer, more weight transfer to the front will take weight off the back; easier to kick out.
Asked my father and he just dumped a dusty textbook on me about car handling dynamics.... it will take me forever cause I am bad at reading but will read....
So please give what you know or believe or have heard (and by who if it is reputable persons) and elaborate why.
Thnx all.
