We still need more data of vehicle OPTIONS from the users below in order to make better sense of any logic.
@DCPU ; is yours a 5seater now? And any roof rack, light bar, snorkel, side steps or rock sliders? Would be helpful to know, thanks.
@Voader - Oudersopzwier; do you have alloy or steel wheels? 17" or 18"? Which tires? And what other options do you have?
@gkhaldi ; do you have alloy or steel wheels? 17" or 18"? Which tires? And what other options do you have?
@Tinki ; do you have alloy or steel wheels? 17" or 18"? Which tires? And what other options do you have?
@Arkaig ; do you have alloy or steel wheels? 17" or 18"? Which tires? And what other options do you have? Which rear springs do you have?
@lennie_4 ; do you have alloy or steel wheels? 17" or 18"? Which tires? And what other options do you have?
Logsplitter, I imagine your front springs are the same 2 green circles as Voader - Oudersopzwier 5seat/no winch, maybe because your 2seat/winch/roof rack/side runner steps/dual battery = more mass (similar to a 5seat without those options?) and that means more forward weight shift under braking?
BUT then why does Voader - Oudersopzwier have 2 red triangle rear springs vs the 2 blue triangles of others? Does he have other options we don't know about? If so, that would = more mass to shift forward under braking, so then why does he have 2 green circle front springs??
Also, why does AnD3rew have 2 blue rear springs on his if he has more mass (diesel engine/side runner steps/roo bar/brush guards) than Jean Mercier or gkhaldi which are both petrol and have none of those add'l options?
While I thought green was lightest rate, then blue heavier, and red even heavier, I'm no longer certain.
Currently I've changed the arrangement of my data to better standardized their list of options to try to make better sense of it for everyone, and bolded key #seat/engine info in regards to front springs for now;
