Can you clarify what you mean by wheel "rates"?

Hi, it relates to the suspension. Its very much like the spring rate (or stiffness), but is measured at the wheel. It's the amount of force required to displace the wheel per unit of displacement, measured in lbs/in, or Newtons per metre.

WheelRate

Thanks,

Mark

I would like to know as well. The front should be around 95%, but the rear looks to be like a e36/46 which would be around 60%
