See I have the theory of adjustable shocks or coilovers down. I mean you are basically adjusting for how quick you stop that spring oscillation and how stiff or soft your compress and rebound. But some sprng rates I just dont get... Is it oscillations per minute or second? A compression (stiff/soft) rate? hmmm onward to some searching I say!
Well found a simple definition...
Expressed usually in lbs./in. it is the force used to compress a linear spring one inch. Ok so the higher the number ther more harsh of a ride you will have. Now we go into the theorey of what rates will be best for me... Onward to yet more research!!!
