greenamex2 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
dtype38 - You are running a spring rate 925lb. Your tyre has probably got a spring rate of the same OR LESS!!!

It's no wonder you are seeing as much compression on the tyre as the suspension!

In reality your spring rate at the wheel is probably lower due to motion ratios but you get the picture.

This is the reason behind the common F1 quote "most of the suspension movement is in the tyre".
