You are seriously saying that increasing the distance of the track from the spring doesn't impact the wheel rate? How can changing a vehicle's track without moving the spring not change the calculated motion ratio?

I haven't looked at the rear geometry close enough to say whether wider track would change the effective lever. But I did say "can", not "will".
