edit: .55 rear motion ration if you are still divorced spring. if you are true type then it is in fact 1:1 (like a .98 or something if you want to get really particular)


@OP, assuming you're running the "full" suspension math the other big thing you'll need to know are the weights (corner and unsprung corner). These will most likely vary from car to car depending on what type of weight reduction methods you've done.
