The 1 to 2 (300f/600r) ratio mentioned here flies in the face of virtually ALL of the varying rates we've seen published and used successfully for years.

Being practical, 12.5mm is much shorter than the length of the strut. Moving the control arm mounting outward doesn't change the strut's angle enough to matter.

How did you get to your numbers - I would think that the rear of the 993 would be significantly different from the 964 due to design while the front would be very close.
If you use the method I used to obtain figures on front I would be interested in knowing how close they are. As this is the actual measured shock travel to wheel travel that provides the motion ratio.
KaiB - I understand, but this is a starting point for me to begin with and one that is determined based on the measurements I have run. It may not be for everyone, but the individual that is helping me has one of the best handling cars in our area .
