how to convert spring rates?
so i've always wondered this, how do you go about converting lets say an 8k or 10k spring to pounds? is there a formula? i thought it was a simple metric conversion but that didnt work out so well.
why the different scales?

Yeah Google calculator is freaking awesome these days.
Just type "12 kg/mm to lb/in" into google and the calculator comes up above all the search results: "12 (kg / mm) = 671.9698975 pound / in"
Edit your text in the search bar and you can try every conversion you want with a click of the return key.
