3rd Generation Tokico hp suspension kit for a gen 3.5?

I say a tokico hp suspension kit here: http://www.autoaccessoriesgarage.com...Suspension-Kit

They only have them for the celica and avalon. I know the camry and avalon are similar. Will a 97 avalon kit fit a gen 3.5 camry?

Not too sure if an avalon kit will fit on a camry. But you have to be careful with these sites selling "tokico suspension kits" because I almost bought one for my Gen 3 last summer. After calling them I found out that they give you tokico struts and randomly find springs that will fit. And because you have a gen 3.5 you pretty much have the same options as the gen 3 camry's:

Struts
Tokico
KYB

Springs:
H&R
eibach
sprint
etc.

Coilovers
Ksport
D2's
etc.

After tons of searching on the forums I decided to go with Tokico's with H&R springs. Hope my 2cents helps.

How do you like the drop and feel of the H&R springs and tokicos?

I believe the es300, avalon, and camry share the same chassis..so interchangeable parts should include suspension and other minor cosmetics. Correct me if I'm wrong though..

If anything they do sell specific gen3 suspension parts, so that would make things easier

The ride quality of the H&R's are pretty good for lowering springs. When riding around the city and highway I often forget that I'm lowered until i hit a bad bump or pothole..even then it's manageable for daily driving. I don't think I'd want anything anymore stiff (which is why I stayed away from ksport coilovers). But sometimes i do wish i was a little lower.

Oh yea I'm pretty satisfied with the drop, I was surprised after the instillation that the drop was pretty even..once again, wish it were a tad bit lower but im satisfied..if I ever get some new wheels I'd prob get 17 or 18's with the proper tires to help fill in the remaining fender gap.
