what is the spring rate on stock camry springs???

DarkMastyr · 09-12-2005, 08:41 PM

i also would like to know this. a random guess would be something like 5kgF/3kgR

anyone have actual confirmed numbers?

5Kg/f and 3Kg/r seems really soft for a vehicle the weight of a Camry.

They're progressive springs so they'll be VERY soft.

I had to do the math so I could convert it to figures I could relate to more easily to understand exactly what range we're talking about..

so we're looking at approx 279 lb/ft for the front and 167lbs for the rear on a stock 4red Gen 4 cyl Camry?

That is really soft... progressive spring or not..

I need to make a referecne here to a car I know well.. The Prelude uses a front spring approximated 380lbs/in and a rear spring around 270lbs/in. I'm currenttly on Teins running approx 560lb/in front and 450lbs/in rear.. no wonder the Camry feels like a boat..

"12/99" looks more like a date of manufacture....

spring rates are usually expressed in lbs/in, Nm/mm or Kg/mm

"12/99" (nor the number "12" or "99") does not cover to any logical spring rate (for the Camry) using any of these standards of measurement..
