One thing to keep in mind is that while the geometry doesn't "really" change, it can be slightly different with respect to the angle the spring is acting on the suspension arms. This is why when calculating suspension numbers like motion ratio, wheel rate, and suspension frequency, you have to do some trigonometry with the angle the spring is at.
