Is there a formula for finding seat pressure?
Diameter: 1.460 in.
Pressure at 1.850 installed height: 155 lbs.
Pressure at 1.150 open height: 450 lbs.
Coil Bind at: 1.085 in.
Material: chrome silicon steel
I would like to see the seat pressures at 1.90, and 1.95 ? Any neat trick or educated guess?
EDIT: These are k-motion k-800 dual springs

Find the difference in installed height: 1.900-1.850 = .050 inches
Calculate load change for .050 travel : .050 in. * 421 lb/in = 21 lb, so seat load @ 1.900 = 155 - 21 or 134 lb.
Your turn: what do you get for 1.95 installed height, altjar?
