and @mikieboyblue, certain ones can be used to make the car lower or higher... like airbags... but cheaper.... expecially compared to springs, cuz in 'bout year, the shox will blow, and you're gonna have to change those NEway...

@flopshot-ksport for 07camry has 36 levels of stiffness- so you really think our extra battery weight can't be offset by putting them on a different stiffness setting?
Without knowing exactly how coilovers are engineered, I would think that a particular stiffness setting is to give the suspension a particular height while still providing a level of comfort. If you put the coilovers on a very stiff setting, just so that it can handle the extra weight that it was not designed for, then your car may not rub but the ride will be extremely harsh.

FYI, to combat this exact problem, I have TRD springs in my front wheels but I used SE springs in my rears. (see previous threads I've made about "Dropped TCH")
