need some gen2 spring measurements

[boi_si]

i know theres a few of u here that lowered ur gen2 camry with aftermarket springs. i would like to know how tall the "oem" springs stand in inches. probably the width of the spring, top and bottom as well.

im thinking of putting my oem st185 springs on it. it seems to have same diameter and thicker springs but not sure about the tallness. jus want to be very sure before pulling out the springs.

The rears will probably not fit, the fronts will probably fit, but I'm not sure how high they will sit or if they are any better for performance. All-trac vs. non all-trac rear suspesion is fairly different.

it just looks very similar to me but im sure the spring rates are different. i jacked up the camry and put it side by side. but i jus want to know the height of spring off the strut.

don't want to be mean... but no one's going to take our springs off and measure it for your... we're just not that bored

I had 87-89 celia eibach springs on my 91 camry V6 auto wagon. I was lucky and this worked out ok. I think the weight of the car is what helped. The celica springs where ever close in height on the front, and 1" shorter in the rear. The front celica springs are also wound in a little smaller coild diameter and will just squeeze onto a camry lower strut mount. The rear seemed to be a good match for coil diameter. As for the springs wire diamter??? and rates??? I was boared, and broke, and had the springs (eibach, not stock) celica springs and thought what the heck. To my surprise it all worked out. I don't think I would waste my time with stock springs???
