| Spring constant (k) represents how stiff the spring is. | Shock leverage ratio. | ||
| k.total - use to compute race sag | TR - (wheel travel / shaft travel) . . fixed or static measurement | ||
| k.increm - the change in spr rate for small changes in stroke position | Used to compute race sag | ||
| - use to look for closing coil effect on spring rate increases | LR - the change in rate for small changes in stroke position . . incremental or instantaneous | ||
