Simple Spring Rate Question Guys, say you have two springs. One is a 300lb spring and the other is a 275lb spring. Which one would aid in wieght transfer more (i.e. make the car more likely to wheely)? If you had a heavier front which would you be more likely to select and if you had a lighter front which would you be more likely to select when only considering weight transfer, not driveability.
I know you should weigh the 4 corners in all to get dead on but i'm asking the above question in a general sense. Thanks.

I guess it would depend on how much the spring is actually compressed too right?
