Default Swift Coilover Replacement Springs

I'm looking to get stiffer springs for my B&G rs2 coilovers. I've heard swift springs makes a large range of different spring rates and diamaters that can be used to replace the springs on coilovers.

I was wondering if anyone has done this and if anyone knows the diamater and length of the springs of the B&Gs so I can figure out which one would fit.

Thanks

Swift springs are some of the best out there. I haven't heard of anyone running them on Scions though. Good luck with your project!

I know that getting shorter springs will put more load on your shocks, and the same goes for coilover replacement springs I would assume. But if I got springs that are the same height but much stiffer, how would that affect the durability of the shocks?

As long as everything is the same length, having stiffer springs on your B&G's shouldn't change the life expectancy of the shocks. Several companies offer the option of varying spring rates, but the shocks remain the same. I think you should be fine.
