K-Sport - Spring Rate Recommendations

Probably gonna pick up a set real soon and replace my Tokico/Eibach setup.

Was wondering what spring rates I should use for a less harsh ride. Or should I just stick with the stock spring rates?

Thanks!

If you have the gen3 then you can't go lower than 5kg, so I guess use 7kg in the front and 5kg in the back, k-sport's website default spring rates on the gen 3 camry is either 9kg or 10kg (they keep switching probably based on customer feedback) and 5 kg in the back. That's what I'm getting 7kg front/5kg back. I heard that switching out the coilover springs to the same spring rate to Swift USA coilover springs will improve the ride quality and performance but I need confirmation on this. I send Miltdoggie a pm on the matter but no response, maybe he didn't recieve it .

I was going to go with the stock rates on mine when I had them but never got to install them. I figured they would know best and would have the most neutral setup, then I dont have to worry about messing the handling up...

wait a bit for yesca to install them and see what he thinks.

If you have a v6 then stay with stock set up 9/5, if not then go with 7/5, it will be more comfortable.

Id say stick with defaults. Defaults are just fine for daily driving and tearing up the streets

why would you stiffen up the front even more after already stiffening it up with a front sway bar? you want severe understeer or something?

oh crap sorry ~
i remembered wrong.. lets try that again -.-;;;;;;

7/5 for I4 if you want it 'more confortable'
9/5 for I4 if you want it more stiff (according to some people, its not too far from neutral, so it shouldn't be that dangerous) and definately for any v6
9/7 for if you have upgraded front sway bar (otherwise u'd understeer)

thanks for noticing ^^;
