newcarver Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 What does everyone think about a progressive rate spring for the BTS? Think it would be of benefiet? It would have a stiffer rate the more it is compressed instead of the standard linear rate. Seems like this would be something that would make a big difference on your toe side.

dredman Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Seems to work very well in all other suspension applications. Seems like a great idea!! I will take 2 short in the red and 2 long in the Blue! Sounds like a very progressive idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastskiguy Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I'll trade a never-used yellow long for a progressive blue...and add money too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcarver Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Wish I had some. Just wanted to throw that idea out there and see if Fin might be able to come up with some in the future. I use them on my racecar suspension and have had good results over a standard coil. Thought that this application might be a good place for such a thing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUD Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Go to Mcmaster.com, find the spring rates you want in the die spring section, and stack them. taa daa, progressive springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vapor Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 If your all crafty you can try tapering part of the die spring to give it a softer flex.If your really crafty try making a rectangle crossectionanal varible pitch die spring. hmmm sounds like a neet project any takers???
