hey wuts up guys i have thinken and i wanna do somethin with my suspension. first of all my rear is sagging rite now so i wanted to even that out and maybe drop it an inch or two. but im tryin to decide on wut kit to get. i was thinken coil overs but pple say those r garbage wut do u guys think?
Ugh... Please please please please learn to use the search function! This has been covered 5 times in the last 5 weeks. But I'll be nice.
Coilovers: Ksport, D2. easy to get, best handling and adjustability. JIC and Hotbits have also been done but are harder to get/require modification.
Struts/Springs: Eibach, H&R, Vogtland, Intrax make good springs, Intrax is not quite as good as the others handling and stiffness wise but gives a lower/more even looking drop. DO NOT get sprint or dropzone. For struts you have basically two choices, KYB and Tokico. Tokicos are stiffer and give a sportier ride, and also are designed to handle lowered suspensions. KYBs give a close to stock ride but some have had problems with them blowing due to the non OEM resting location of the lowering springs. YMMV.
well.... i think coilovers are not garbage. i like coilovers because they make your car stiffer and handel much better. by the way.... are you talking about those ground control coilovers? if you talking about that, then yes...i think they are not that good. just my opinion lol

I work for JIC Magic. They're not hard to get. Infact we have them in stock. Any of our dealers can get those for you at a great price.

Sorry Yukio, that was second hand info my mistake. I thought I had heard that when Swegyptian did his that he had to modify them somewhat because he had to order the JDM version. Thanks for clearing that up!
yes, coilover sleeves like dropzone and groundcontrolcoils are junk. because your stock shocks are not valved according to these coilover sleeves. ksports are OKEY. they are really really stiff. both my brothers 3vzfe and my 1mzfe are on ksports, and very stiff both.

He put on the MCV20 Gen 4 camry coilovers on his car. It can work. Just have to update the uppermount. We have the Solara/Gen 4/Avalon Coilovers both FLT-A1, and FLT-A2. Contact a forum sponsor for a price. Thanks.
