"Ride Height:
A lower ride height lowers the center of gravity, which
reduces weight transfer during cornering, acceleration, and braking.
The reduced weight transfer improves cornering. A lower ride height
also lowers drag at high speed because you are presenting a smaller
frontal profile to the airstream. Also, by lowering the front end and
raising the rear, you can improve high speed stability and increase
downforce by preventing high-pressure air from building up underneath
the nose of the car. [Note: I have not noticed ride height affecting
aerodynamics at all in the game] If the car is too low, it can bottom
out, though this can be eliminated by stiffening the springs. For
rear-wheel drive cars, you can improve rear traction under
acceleration by increasing ride height, since maximum traction can be
obtained with the maximum amount of weight on the rear tyres.
Generally, you'll only want to do this in the acceleration tests,
since it will hurt cornering performance, and never with front-wheel
drive cars, since the driving wheels will be losing grip."
then according to this thing http://www.supercars.net/cars/....html downforce ratio is front/rear spring rates added together..
although i dont know what good does it do to know all that.

Nowhere near the downforce caused by these chicks
