TRD are just rebadged eibachs (for the gen 4) so I would get those. I have eibach and I'm very satisfied with the drop and performance. eibach,trd > tein

no they arent ... they are just outsourced, not the same springs ... read ASG14's thread

Thanks for the correction. I was keeping up with that thread and didn't get time to read it over with the addition of the other posts. So trd let eibach designed them to toyota specs. (adding this to memory because we all know posts like these are weekly)

Thanks for the input guys!! I am probably getting the TRD exhaust at toyotapartspeople.com which also sells the TRD springs so most likely i'll be purchasing the springs there.

TRD, just so u can be qualified to put a "TRD" sticker on ^^

I'd go with the Tein S-Techs with the Tokico struts. Ride is too soft w/ my setup.

I'm pretty sure eibach + tokicos are stiffer than the teins + tokicos. I have eibach+tokicos and they're stiff enough for me around the STL (pothole everywhere) area. This combo is stiffer than my friends sport edition is350 and I'm on 15" steelies vs 17s.

Hey Apbt, you should grab a trd rsb while you're at it = THE BEST upgrade for camrys.

It's a trd rear sway bar. just do a search, there are over 999999999999999 threads on it.
And if you decide you want to get it, contact this guy http://www.solaraguy.com/profile.php...wprofile&u=875 . He works at a toyota dealership near me and everybody has only good things to say about his transactions (including me). He will ship across the US.
