Number x 56.

So 8kg x 56 = 448lb

I dropped a few labeling units, but you get the point.

 

In case your pencil brakes, you don't have a calculator, and someone deleted the calculator off your computer:

This is in the FAQ........

c'mon fellas, its there for a reason!

I'm being very lenient while you cant search archived topics..

 

i still can't find it there...

i've never really understood why you are so quick to lock threads covering commonly asked questions. i am a believer in the free exchange of ideas, and the web is the ideal location for that. i think it's fair to expect people to stay reasonably on topic, and deleting obscene posts is warranted. but if somebody asks a question that's been asked before then a simple solution would be for those not interested in repeating answers to just not post, or direct them to a thread with relevant information. i don't understand how locking the thread and linking the search box really helps anyone, other than possibly alienating them from the forum. when the archive did work, if you were to type say "spring rate," you'd get so many threads you couldn't possibly read them all, and it becomes very difficult to narrow down the threads to those which may be useful.

do these posts really take up so much bandwidth that they require imediate locking? i've never been a moderator, so if i'm totally offbase i appologize.

-phil, who doesn't mind seeing many similar thread since they're often not exactly the same...

 

Its in Tyson's coil-over FAQ that is linked to in the forum FAQ.

And w hen the same questions come up over, and over, and over, ad nauseum..... you alienate many of the minds that make the forum such a free exchange of ideas in the first place!!!

I had alot of questions when i bought my 91 Integra. I think i made a total of 2 posts in the Integra forum asking a question because i found everything i needed by searching. I have a hard time helping people that wont make the effort to help themselves.

 

actually, Tyson's FAQ says: "...will come labelled in either Metric (mm.mm.N/m) or English (inchx100.inchx100.lbs/inch) units. 180.64.61 is the same thing as 700.250.350. The conversion from Metric to English is (/.254, /.254, x5.7)"

N/m is not the same as kg/mm, though it seems to be off by only a factor of 10 (though had todd not posted "x 56" i'd have no idea it was close. and the link geratol provided is useful and i hadn't seen it before.

ok, fair enough.

cheers,
phil
