Staniforth the suspension guru

As I mentioned before; I own a couple of great books of by Allan Staniforth who writes that when choosing the springrate, the most important thing is wheel frequency.
The formula he gives for this uses sprung weight and CPM(= a factor of wheel frequency).
I toyd with these numbers and got springrates for front from 80lbs to 120lbs for serious street vechiles. I believe this is for linear springs only.
