Use this to convert spring rates (kg--->lbs and lbs---->kg)

(x)kg * 55.88 = lbs

(x)lbs * .01771 = kg

(x) is the variable

Re: Use this to convert spring rates (4doorH22)

I believe he was referring on converting springs rates, which are actually lb per inch, and he is giving conversions to kg per mm

lb/in <-> kg/mm

Of course, if memory serves, the SI spring rate unit is actually N/m... make your own conversion factors with 1kg = 9.81N (in most places...

) and 1m = 1000mm
