Lookin to buy springs & rims any help?

[alexdadoof]

Hey guys,

I just started a new job, which leaves me with some financial leverage to start investing more in my car.

I'm lookin to lower and get some rims.
But right now i'm lookin at 2 sets of springs.
either TRD's (roughly $200?)
or
a set of Eibach Pro-kit springs.

from what I hear, Eibach's got good springs after settling you won't expect them to sag down or lower your car after some time with use..

I don't know about TRDs..

And i know this came up in some of the other threads, but will somebody please
enlighten me with the shock/coil situation or watever it is..
dampener?
the thing that holds your spring.
would i need to change mine out? (08 LE I4)
or can i just leave them be. and roll with new springs?
*shrug*

very confused TN member here.

help me out will ya?


I'm thinkin of getting a set of Nexos or Exels..
dont think i can afford BBS or Enkei's


Thanks!


Lookin forward to the CSP meet yall!
hope to see ya there

TRD springs are made by Eibach. As of right now there are no after-market struts, so you need to use what you currently have.

Correction: The only struts available are part of the coilovers. I remember reading that a member could get the Ksports for like $800 or something like that.

TRD's are from eibach?

then wat would be better?
to dish out $200 for the TRD's?
or the extra for the pro series eibachs?

[catric69]

TRD = Eibach Pro-kit. Get the TRD's if you will pay less for the same item.

Their are the same - supposedly, just branded under different names.

PS: haha - catric, same answer while I was typing.

[alexdadoof]

Usually TRD is actually a little expensive than Eibach because it's a rebadge of Eibach. But TRD springs will keep your warranty in place for sure if installed by an authorize dealer shop.
I had Eibach installed because TRD were backorder last year and I didn't want to wait. They are the same anyway. My dealership doesn't give me any problem at all with Eibach.

be careful with cheap rims!!

[alexdadoof]

i wont be under warranty if i do it myself?

[geoff5093]

You still have a warranty if you install TRD components yourself, I believe it's in the area of 19K miles and doesn't cover the cost of the TRD component if a malfunction happens.

[Punks_Not_Dead5]

I have Eibach's and i never had a "settling" period....they're the say height as the day they were put on, and no sagging at all...

[Lexxther]

You should get those GS460 rims. They will fit your Camry without any problems.
