Default Equivalent spring Rate

Whats the equivalent spring rate (rear) for a 29mm solid torsion bar with a 225lb coil/ helper spring - looking to delete tb and maintain the same rate.

George, if you do an 'advanced' search and look under eg 'effective' in the 944 and Turbo forum it will show you a few recent threads covering this exact topic.

Current wheel rate = 376 lbs/in.

950 lb/in spring only will yield 377 lbs/in.

Sorry George. Didn't realise. Also thought you might like the reading. At least Van has covered it. Van's a good man.

What springs have you go up front?
