i payed 100$ on the worst spring ever!! dropzone 1.8 rear 1.8 front and my car looks lik its pointing to the sky. my rear tirs tuck easily an inch and my front tires have around an inch space between wheel and wheel well. I AM PIST. i bottom out everywhere. my muffler scrapes everywhere i dont kno what to do. im planning on 400$ budget to get me either descent springs lik eibach or buy my some tokiko struts OR kyb. what do you guys think about this offer i found on ebay............KYB GR-2 SHOCKS & SPRINGS TOYOTA CAMRY 97 - 01...380$ plus 62$shippin

it would be greatly appreciated if u guys tell me how your setup is working

Spring settle ?

I'm planning to either swap the rear back to stock, or cut out the front.

"told ya so" seems so fitting here. but ill spare it. same ya had to find out like this but yeah look for some new speing and shocks. id say somthing + tokico but thoes package deals are pretty good. KYBs are a near stock shock...slightly stiffer.

do not cut the front as he suggests. cheaping out on things like this causes problems like this. wait till you can afford the proper suspsneion components before damaging other parts of the car that are otherwise fine.

id stay awway from D2, tein is good stuff but its your GF's car right? would she like a hard as shit ride? cuz thats what teh coilovers will give. i had tein H-techs on my gen4 and slochy kyb shocks...and it was still MUCH better then stock. gotta have an upgraded RSB though.
