i could be completly wrong if toyota (and other car companies) manufacture their springs to not be linear but in that case i am not aware
I guess I could have been more clear. There are springs out there that compress at a linear rate. Car springs do not, they basically have one spring rate to settle the car at ride height, then the spring rate goes up if you compress it more. You can tell just by looking at the way the springs are - differing coil diameters and distances between coils. If you still don't believe me you'll see when you swap springs. You can compress the first inch or two by hand. If that spring rate stayed linear the whole way through the spring it would be fully collapsed with 300 lbs on it.. lol

You won't, that's why people just buy springs made for their car.
