Is it possible to put on Eibach/TRD springs on the factory stuts? Does anyone know how the ride is or do I have to get new struts?

Unless Toyota made TRD Struts, the dealer certainly didn't do anything except put the TRD springs on my LE.

what are your rim/tire size? My dad who is a mechanic keeps saying that it'll scrape; I think he's just against tricking out cars so he doesnt approve of it by saying it'll mess up the car. Thanks though. Any more inputs would be much appreciated.

They are 18" TRDs, on 225/45s.

No need to worry, these were designed for the Camry, as are the TRD lowering springs.

Ehh.

You could say that they might put a bit more wear on the struts itself, same as any lowering spriings would do to stock struts. I believe SE springs are a bit lower and stiffer then the other Gen6s springs, strut design may be slightly different also.

JW, how much lower are the TRD springs lower than the SE spring?

about 1-2 inch
