Question about spring rates - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hey guys, do lower springs have stiffer spring rates than stock springs do? I ask this because I'm really sick of how camrys sit so much lower in the rear and whenever you accelerate or have maybe one person in the back seat, the whole back of the car sags down even more. Would the lower springs help reduce the sagging in the back?

sounds like your springs have had it. Anyway, yes lowering springs have more aggressive spring rates (aka are stiff as fuck). If you put a crapload of wight on the backend its gonna sag some, no matter what springs you have, but stiffer springs would help.

I don't know if this would help but would putting in extra bump stops around the strut shaft keep the car from sagging to the point where the wheels are tucked inside the fenders?

eibach pro kit springs.

TRD / whiteline rear sway bar will also help
