Ya, that's why spring rates are always a compromise and why it's difficult to find that 'perfect' setup. I was implying, more generally, that softer = more grip.
Of course there reaches a point where it's detrimental (too soft) and many other factors come into play, like what tire compound you're using, weight of the car, level of aero etc. that change what the optimal spring rate for grip is. And what is optimal for grip isn't necessarily optimal for balance or tire life. |
Isn't the speed and radius also matter in term of front grip.
Meaning a setup for high speed swiping corner may not be the same for slow tight turn.
Adding to the comprised equation. Where do you want the car to have grip
