Converting KG to PSI for Air Setup

Hey all,

Is there a way for somebody to convert spring rate to PSI. For example, what is the PSI value for a 24kg spring? The reason for my question is, how do most, bag over coil people, determine how much air to run in the bag due to the dampening of the coilover shock.

Hopefully that makes sense.

Thanks!

They don't lol

there is no real conversion since air is variable where as a spring is a static compression. Depending on the weight in the car the pressure will change thus changing the compression of the "spring"

blaaaah lol I figured as much since they are 2 different units of measure to begin with. What if you had the Accuair eLevel system? I thought that system, with its eLevel sensors, has the ability to "monitor" the amount of PSI in the bag and adjust (add/subtract) psi levels? or am I over reading what the eLevel actually does? haha :)

BTW...Thanks for the help 4DGS!

Elevel is strictly height based on the position of the sensor height, not psi. Only concern accuair has with psi is with the tank.
