90 es250 suspension problems - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

My suspension is shot on my es250,and I want to get new struts and springs. But the problem is that I don't want to use kyb struts, so does anyone know what struts & springs (beside the 90' camry) are interchangeable with an es250?! I especially want lowering springs that will fit my car. Also, I am taking a composite class and will be working on a carbon hood, so if anyone is interested let me know.

Regarding suspension questions, use the Search feature.
This topic has been discussed way too many times.

Regarding the carbon hood, this is another discussion that's been discussed way too many times.

My advice to you if you're really serious about it is to produce a working (meaning functional) protoype of your carbon hood endeavor before looking for potential buyers.

you pretty much have 1 option for springs we've discovered, and thats intrax...the b&g springs are backordered everywhere we've looked, even though people list tehm as in stock...but you can try looking...eibach will custom make you springs to your specs though, FYI...uh...lets see....you could get bilstein shocks, but because of the internal bumpstops youre screwed when your lowered, cuz if you bottom out in a corner, you are going off the road...trust me on that one...so go with teh KYBs...theres nothin wrong with the KYBs, the gr2 is a great shock...why is it you dont want to use them?

also on the hood, my buddy (kuler2.0) who i am helping with his camry may be very interested in a carbon hood...keep us updated, he may be down for one!

u have to remember.. the camry and es250 isn't the same hood... i work at a fiberglass shop and temped to do it myself but it's a lot of work. mold's going to be huge !.. there's only 2 carbon hoods for the gen2 that exist as far as i know... white90dx and phatle91 those are the 2 owners
