Part 1 of the process says empty oil and bounce car to see which end rises first and adjust to the slower side if possible to get a balanced "spring rate".

Part 2 says drive car once you have balanced "spring rate" without oil to see if you have balanced spring frequency as I understand it. If you don't have balanced spring frequency, do I have to go back to square 1 with looking for a spring rate with the same spring frequency?

If I understand you can adjust the remaining frequency out with the shock mounts? if this is correct then Sweet! But if it is correct then isn't it bad too? Making adjustments say to the front shock mount locations to get the spring frequency to match the rear also altered the droop right? How so I get my droop back in line front to rear?

My point in asking this is I want to be balanced through and through like Freds entire approach is based on.

Balanced Spring Rate, Spring Frequency, Camber turnbuckle length, droop, arms, etc. I don't see how I can maintain this approach unless I have a room full of springs from the get go. I could absolutely be missing/mixing something on this and hope that I am. The alternative says chance of truely balancing is extremely rare if at all.

Said another way.

One would like to think that if you had a set of front and rear springs that were 1.2lb that the frequency would match. So you have rate and frequency match. But we know based on the data at this point we won't be using 1.2lb springs front and rear due to weight bias front to rear. So if I go 1.2lb front and 2.1lb rear, isn't that automatically going to tell me that the frequency will be different? Rates are definitely different but become balanced due to load (my reverse thinking). Does that mean frequency also comes into balance?

Thanks in advance!
