Lexus es250 springs...

I think I solved my suspension problems. I'm in need of springs but couldn't find which ones to go with, so I looked at the curb weight for camry 92'-2007 and I found that the curb weight for my es250 & the weight of an 07'solara is only a 44lbs weight difference. So,what I'm thinking is that I can use lowering springs from this car for mine. Hopefully the diameters are the same!

Cool, let me know how it works out. I'd be interested in the drop for my V6 (which has the same suspension as your ES250).

I can almost guarantee they won't fit.

by your logic the mazda 3 springs should fit also.. since it's almost the same curb weight as the camry too... and it's FF platform also....

i already told you intrax or b&g have springs for the gen2 camry...i don't know y you keep wanting to use springs not made for the car

They won't fit, the strut is totally different on the 3rd and 4th gen cars. If I remember the spring perch diameter is larger on the newer camrys.
