BACKGROUND:
• KING SPRINGS are manufactured from quality BHP Steel.
• All springs are manufactured under quality control ISO 9002.
“The Intelligent Coil Spring”
Progressive rate springs are the ultimate in spring design. The principle
is simple. The spring rate increases when you need it (cornering load
carrying etc) and decreases when you don’t. The science being over
what suspension travel and to what degree the spring rate will increase.
This varies greatly between vehicles. Referring to the above three considerations
with King’s performance progressive rate springs a substantial
spring rate increase is achieved with minimal loss of ride comfort as
the spring rate increases and decreases where necessary.
As the spring derates (the spring rate decreases) the shock absorber |
|
no longer struggles for rebound control and gives improved vehicle stability.
With King’s performance progressive rate coil springs, spring entrapment
problems are now often solved with substantial spring rate increases
and ride height decreases available, with the added advantage of
not requiring a shorter shock absorber in most cases.
Progressive Rate Design Principles:
Remembering the principle, the less coils in a spring, the higher the spring
rate, as the spring compresses under load the gathered coils come into contact
and become inactive thus increasing the spring rate. The point at which
each coil comes into contact and the rate of increase is the result of extensive
research, development and testing on advanced testing equipment. |
