FC motion ratios

FC motion ratios
I know the front is pretty much 1:1 probably closer to 0.95:1.
Just Curious if anyone knew, or has measured what the rear motion ratio was on the FC?
for anyone that doesn't know, motion ratio is the ratio of the distance the spring moves in relation to the distance the wheel moves. You use it to find out the actual spring rate at the wheels (wheel rate)

there is a thread about it in the suspension section, its hard to find though, because the search doesn't separate FC and FD very well
i wanna say, .86 is the number, but don't hold me to it

That was at the hub. I guess I didn't think about wheel width affecting the measurement significantly enough for my purpose. I didn't measure the fronts for the same reason (adapting dampers from another strut car). I've seen most strut fronts be in the range of .95 though.

so its wheel travel/shock travel.
i don't see how camber matters in making the calculation?

scrub radius? it's not terrible. the new 18x12s fit with a -10 offset... which is 50mm different from stock aka, 2". My increased kingpin angle from the camber plates fixes some of that... so it's probably not that bad. I haven't actually measured it though.
