[QUOTE="Jeremy Wilkey, post: 996899, member: 17220"] Harry, Yeah, I'm with you for sure. As Marcus points out we have some fixed characteristics, shim stack in a static test, and that boils down to a spring rate calculation. However I seem to think that there are other very significant aspects that are not measured as a static. I probably over use the term Rate of Change in my descriptions but that really is all suspension is about when dealing with set-up or designing a system. I think given a certain deflection and piston design, configuring the number and spacing of shims creates a distinct vibration that allows for quicker sizing and more precise sizing as it fluctuates from over to undersize due to our pressure wave. This many times lends itself to a larger number of more tightly spaced shims. I've come to appreciate Penske a little more as I've seen my own work change piston design to attain a characteristic that the shim stack can't do, not from a spring rate perspective but from a rate and precision of sizing standpoint.
