Spring selection

[Admin]

Ok scenario 2, If a zero rake car had the ass end set lower so the pivots were at an angle to gravity, would the spring rate and motion ratio change?

I understand the needed rate may change, but rake does not alter motion ratio, and the spring would be doing the same amount of work, now 10 degrees may call for the spring to do more work, I understand that part, but taking a 0 rake car and raking the entire front suspension equal, no ratios have changed. Am i not correct?

But the spring rate will actually need to be higher with rake due to the increases angle UNLESS you go to the extemes that you described.
