Some of these people just need to read a damn book, to at least get a general Idea on how this stuff works and stop asking internet forums and getting wrong answers.
You beat me to it Dan, the fact that we still have people in this forum that continue to answer questions to which the answers allude them boggles my mind.
Google does an awesome job if you type in "8 kg/mm to lbs/in" you will see that an 8kg spring is just shy of 448 lb/in around 3 times the typical imported sedan rate.
As for comfort it's subjective, I like a stiff car, but an under-damped stiff car to me is much worse on the street then an over-damped softer sprung car.
and please so we are all on the same page "Damping"
Damping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
is not the same as "dampening" which is the act of making something wet.
I may want to use both in some post and I don't want to confuse anyone.
