I've seen the formula for calculating effetive spring rate of a torsion bar, but honestly i don't know the inputs for 2 (arm length & effective bar length) of the 3 variables.
http://www.proshocks.com/calcs/torsionrate.htm Anyone already done this? Looking to know effective spring rate of 18-23mm solid & 21-23 hollow. |

Use these dimension on your Calc Pgae.
Bar Length = 21" Lever Arm = 14.25" Bar Dim. = your selection Ken |
