I've been thinking about this. I believe the all coil springs and struts/shocks on the car are originals. I notice some undesired sway when driving over bumps and it seems to come from the rear end. I have the perception that the left and right rear suspension is not performing in an equal manner and that is affecting handling at certain times.
I found 404 Not Found they are "variable rate" springs. However, I have the impression that constant rate springs would be a better choice than variable rate springs. MOOG Steering & Suspension | Variable Rate Coil Springs says "An ideal original equipment replacement or upgrade for vehicles that carry heavy loads. These variable rate springs change resistance as they compress and become progressively stiffer as the load increases." In other words, variable rate springs are the best type for vehicles used for towing and hauling heavy loads; apparently, they are not the best choice for cars normally used to carry passengers. I was not aware of the these two types until I started searching for springs. I see that CARiD.com only has the variable rate spring on the link stated above. Should I keep searching for a constant rate spring?
For shocks, I visited NAPA online and found NAPA AUTO PARTS The last sentence under Features and Benefits says "Dust Boot & Jounce Bumper Sold Separately." Will I need those two items?
Note: I have no desire to alter vehicle height as a result of replacing suspension parts.
