What happens to the effectiveness of a front coilover if you mount it at a 45ish degree angle inwards with the bottom of it mounted just above the top balljoint? If you can understand that

You get half the rate at the top arm compared to if it was upright.

I reckon it's 70.7% of the rate.

EDIT: But only when the top arm is horizontal. As the top arm swings up the percentage will increase.
