Rear Springs - how do 200 series springs compare to 100 series? (1 Viewer)

[PabloCruise]

I cannot find much information on 200 series rear spring rates.

Wondering how the rear springs from a 200 compare to 100 series rear springs:

1. Are they phyically a match?
2. What are the spring rates? I believe stock 100 series rear spring rate is ~170 lbs/in.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

While both a stock 100 and 200 rear spring rates are 170 lbs/in, the 100 has a taller free height of about 2 inches, thinner diameter spring, and less wraps than a 200 rear spring. Basically Toyota used to get drop by a longer slinkier springs, then they found they can get more travel out of a short springs, but by tuning the overall geometry better with the 200.
