Does anyone have or know of a place online where I can find the intallation intructions for these springs? I have a few questions and can't find my copy.

Thanks

what are your questions.? IIRC theres nothing special about vogtlang springs that would warrant any special install. we should be able to help.

Well, I wanted to see if the rear springs are interchangeable (right to left) and if the bump stops need to be cut.

how low is the drop? if it's around or over 1.5", then it's safest to cut them rather than risk bottoming them out. But the bump stops on the camry aren't that big either, so it shouldn't be a huge concern

as for spring interchangeability from left to right, unless they're designed differently from other springs, they will be.

I see. Thanks.

I was just curious because the rear passenger side seems higher than the rear driver's side; I thought maybe I had done something wrong somewhere.

did you seat the spring properly on the bottom perch?

If you just installed them, check to see they're all set properly on the perch in the bottom of the strut. Also ensure that the top of the struts are positioned properly in the strut tower.

Beyond that, it's likely they just need to settle in.
