[DeTomaso] Shock recommendations

[Göran Malmberg]

The original springs are about the same proportional rate as the 
weight distribution of the car. If we like to go up in spring rate 
(or down) while keeping the corneering balance of the car, we 
must keep this 60-40 balance. If for example 450-550 is used
we are having 55% rear stiffness. This gives less rear roll rate and 
call for more rear swaybars for the same cornering balance. 
We could also rise the rear spring rate for the same effect as adding
a heavier rear bar. 
So, what happen if altering the spring balance and compensating  
with swaybars for the same cornering balance? This is that we get 
another balance in pitch. This affect starting vs braking behaviour.
Or should I say all pitch roll events.

We shouldnt over dramatice these things, just be awhare of what it is
about.
