Spring constant (k) represents how stiff the spring is. Shock leverage ratio.
  k.total - use to compute race sag   TR - (wheel travel / shaft travel) . . fixed or static measurement
  k.increm - the change in spr rate for small changes in stroke position   Used to compute race sag
  - use to look for closing coil effect on spring rate increases   LR - the change in rate for small changes in stroke position . . incremental or instantaneous
