need help with Tein spring rates!

[wa-chiss]

I was looking at Tein's website at thier spring rates for the S13. it says:

Front/rearkgf/mm6lbs/in340

I'm having a bit of difficulty figuring out what all that means.kgf/mm? Killograms per foot/ millimeters?lbs/in? Pounds per inch?

Am I right?

me => <= you

yeah dude, i know!

I kept looking at the pic in your sig trying to figure out what it said untill I remembered your new miata and it's...... interesting paint theme.

doesnt look like that anymore. you'd be hard-pressed to find red on the exterior. its almost all aluminum now.

and it looks like your interpretation of the units of measure are correct, did you need to know more?

[wa-chiss]

yeah, to me the kgf/mm doesn't make any sence. If I was right in my interpretation then there should be 2 units there instead of 1. IE 6/?? or ??/6. Killograms per foot per millometer just doesn't sound right. So that led me to think "kgf" meant something else.

[wa-chiss]

nevermind. kgf means killogram force.

killogram force per millometer. So I was close to being right.
