Height of Center of Gravity of Vehicle by method of jacking Vehicle from Rear

Go Height of Center of gravity (C.G.) of vehicle = (Loaded radius of front wheels*(Horizontal distance of C.G. From rear axle/Wheelbase of Vehicle))+(Loaded radius of rear wheels*(Horizontal distance of C.G. From rear axle/Wheelbase of Vehicle))+(((Weight of front wheels with rear elevated*Wheelbase of Vehicle)-(Mass of vehicle*Horizontal distance of C.G. From rear axle))/(Mass of vehicle*tan(Angle through which rear axle of vehicle raised)))

Spring rate required for coilover given desired droop and motion ratio

Go Stiffness of Spring = Corner sprung mass of vehicle*Acceleration due to Gravity/(Motion ratio in suspension*Wheel travel*cos(Angle of spring/shock absorber from vertical))

Spring rate provided Wheel rate

Go Stiffness of Spring = Wheel rate of vehicle/(((Motion ratio in suspension)^2)*(cos(Angle of spring/shock absorber from vertical)))

Installation Ratio given Wheel Rate

Go Installation ratio = sqrt(Wheel rate of vehicle/(Spring rate*cos(Damper angle from vertical)))

Damper angle from Vertical given wheel rate

Go Damper angle from vertical = acos(Wheel rate of vehicle/(Spring rate*(Installation ratio^2)))

Spring rate given wheel rate

Go Spring rate = Wheel rate of vehicle/((Installation ratio^2)*cos(Damper angle from vertical))

Wheel rate

Go Wheel rate of vehicle = Spring rate*(Installation ratio^2)*cos(Damper angle from vertical)

Wheel rate in vehicle

Go Wheel rate of vehicle = Stiffness of Spring*((Motion ratio in suspension)^2)*(Spring angle correction factor)

Track Width of Vehicle given Wheel rate and Roll rate

Go Track Width of Vehicle = sqrt((2*Roll rate/ Roll stiffness)/Wheel rate of vehicle)

Spring angle correction factor

Go Spring angle correction factor = cos(Angle of spring/shock absorber from vertical)

Roll rate or Roll stiffness

Go Roll rate/ Roll stiffness = ((Track Width of Vehicle^2)*Wheel rate of vehicle)/2

Wheel rate given Roll rate

Go Wheel rate of vehicle = (2*Roll rate/ Roll stiffness)/Track Width of Vehicle^2

Spring angle correction factor Formula

Spring angle correction factor = cos(Angle of spring/shock absorber from vertical)
cosθ = cos(θ)

What is Spring angle correction factor?

Spring angle correction factor is cosine of the angle of the spring/shock absorber with vertical when viewed from front view of car.

Significance of Spring angle correction factor.

If your spring is mounted at an angle you will need to consider that in your spring calculations. Measure the angle of your spring from vertical in degrees. The greater the installed angle, the stiffer the spring rate must be to support the same weight. First, determine the spring needed for the application if the spring is installed straight up. Then, to compensate for installations at different angles, find your ACF using the formula above, and divide your straight mounted spring rate by your Angle Correction Factor (ACF).
