Oiluj Posted June 30, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 30, 2009 I've been tinkering with a spreadsheet to understand the impact of spring rate on wheel rate / suspension frequency for my 240Z. It is based on a spreadsheet a buddy used. I modifed for the Z, making a few assumptions along the way on the approach to the calculations.I used a web-based spring calculator for the estimating the spring rates. (There is a web link embedded in the spreadsheet).The spreadsheet is a bit messy and has not been fully verified for computational accuracy. Also, I just "guessed" at the suspension component weights, (used to calculate unsprung weight). Attached is the excel worksheet. It's been a fun exercise, but not being the smartest guy in the room, I expect there may be a few errors... Perhaps some of you can have some fun with it, point-out any errors and let me know what you think.240Z Suspension Spreadsheet.xls Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/32395-suspension-worksheet/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
