Not a fan of the wing the springs will work with your stock struts but if they havent been changed I recommend you change those out too while your at it. Save yourself some time and money if your having someone else install them for you. Here's a cheaper place for the springs

What do you mean by camber? Are you talking about camber bolts?

alright. now im wondering about the back end. its sits higher than the front b/c the V6 is heavy as h*** so would these springs do the same thing? besides adding more weight to the back. what would i do to get each the same height?

others have chosen to cut a coil off of their springs to even it out but I didnt exactly have the expertise for that on mine.

I have seen those camber kits on camrys at the junk yard, I guess you might need them if your car got hit or something

I would check with them first to see if they could cause some guys on the forum have done it themselves so I'm pretty sure your local shop wont have a problem all they have to do is make sure they cut the springs evenly on both side.

I kind of like the wing. It's tastefully styled and sized. That being said, I definately would NOT order from a company that wants to gouge you eighty bucks for shipping! I wouldn't support & encourage shipping price gouging like that. Companies like that don't deserve to be in business, and probably won't be for long.
