Great post and information about the dfv. I will be picking up a set very soon. I have a question for you.
The accepted motion ratio for this car seems to be .7 front and .68 rear.
The conversion from wheel rate to spring rate is WR = SR * MR^2
So for the front, if you have 700lb at the wheel, isn't there ~1400lbs on the spring, not ~1000 like you stated? Maybe this is why your height was off. Same thing for your rear calculation.
It seems in your preload calculations you did not square the motion ratio... Did I miss something?

I just had my 2nd FTD with the Ohlins DFV's! I beat people I haven't ever beaten, and beat many more by a larger margin than ever before. I love this suspension!
I'll be doing my first track event next Saturday at Motor Sports Ranch...
