Increasing only the coil diameter of a spring reduces its spring rate. It order to make up for this reduction a larger wire diamter must be used. The only real advantage of of the larger coils is that they're easier to use regular spring compressors on.
Nothing big and they are usally used on RWD cars and trucks.
