sruudd = stuff?
My target was a roll rate roughly split between the front bar and the front spring. I picked a bar that I wanted to run and picked a spring rate that was approximately equal in roll to the bar set to medium on its range of adjustment. That worked out to a roll rate a little softer than I had for the BMW (which needed to be crazy stiff because of the shit front suspension). I then picked a rear spring that biased the roll couple towards the front at around 60%, then added another 100lbs to the rear wheel rate to account for the rear downforce.
It's a calculated guess. I imagine we will end up testing softer all around and seeing what works. The car is really light but it's front-heavy (53.5% front) so the wing is going to be critical.
