Different Diameter Coil Springs Front & Rear
Just on a hunch last year, I grabbed my set of metric wrenches and measured the diameters of the coil springs on my 2010 Honda and my wifes 2004 Toyota.
On both vehicles, the front coil diameters(the thickness of the actual spring metal) were 1-2mm thicker than the diameters of the rear springs.
Does this mean that the engineers have already compensated for the front-to-rear weight bias(typically 60/40 in these cars)?
And what about rear-wheel or all-wheel drive cars: Are all the coil springs, if so equipped, the same diameters on those?
