I measured my front and rear motion ratios yesterday and wanted to compare notes with any that have done the same.
For the rear suspension I took ~20 data points and did a best fit analysis to come up with 1.00 to 1.00 damper travel to wheel travel with strong statistical correlation. My front geometry is a bit different than a standard 914, so the motion ratio should be different, too. I measure ~10 points and found 0.83 damper travel to wheel travel, again with strong statistical correlation. I'm about to order my rear shocks and this is one of the bits of data they need to build the shocks. |

Kevin,
I realize that I sent the wrong numbers to you in a PM. Sorry. My measured front MR is .909 and rear is 1.296. But this has to be squared to get Wheel Rate. Apparently I can't attach an Excel file. Let me know if you want me to mail you the file. Steve |
