[DeTomaso] need formula for springs needed-- was shocks for ORR

[Ken Green]

Jason,
   
      If you have the rebound and compression adjustable shocks, have you played with the adjustments?  I assume there must be some time constants which determine the combined affects of the shicks and springs.  It seems like the shocks would have more affect on short term events and the springs would have a longer term affect?
