Picture says it all:

FINALLY! It only took me 3 weeks to get them... and they sent me the wrong spring rates on the rear... and forgot to pack the extenders.

Would have installed them tomorrow, but i might as well wait until i get the right springs. No sense in doing the installation twice on the rears. Pics of installation this weekend.

Gellenole · 07-06-2009, 08:05 PM

haha hope you enjoy them!

nice purchase. i will probably get them down the line too for my gen6 but will probably not slam it.

Redline_Me · 07-06-2009, 09:38 PM

yup, i don't plan on slamming it either. i will probably set the car at the same height that my current trd springs lower the car to, maybe a little lower.

ima dump the sh** outa mine =]

yes oh yes! another gen5 on coils! they might be bouncy, but the bounciness can be dampened out. i thought i could live with the bounciness with lower settings (sub-8) thinking that i could extend the life. recently, i said fuck it and now i'm finding myself around the tens. the ride is now a bit harsh, but extremely composed and no bouncing! well worth the price (cheap for coils anyways) and i don't regret the purchase and self-install imo.

if you're doing the install by yourself (with no help haha), using a jack to lower the hubs really helps!

which spring rates btw?

LE05 · 07-07-2009, 02:00 PM

6kg F/3kg R... they sent the wrong ones for the rear. I believe the 4kg springs for the rear and my extenders should be sent out today hopefully.

JustAnotherAsian · 07-08-2009, 12:35 AM

^definitely wrong for the rear.

yeah, i knew it... now the place i ordered them from is telling me he's NOT sending me the correct springs, and that what i received are the standard spring rates. ugh... not only did it take 3 weeks, they charged me before it shipped, sent me the wrong rear springs, and didn't even send the extenders.

i'm f***ing pissed!

sucks to hear man. who did you buy it from so other members dont make the same mistake of buying from them

LE05 · 07-08-2009, 04:49 PM

boostanddestroy.com... but they order from importimageracing.com... who orders direct from BC Racing NA, they are all located in Florida.

boostanddestroy.com has pretty bad customer service, so i decided to talk to Import Image Racing directly. Import Image Racing has really good customer service, but they must be tired of all my emails and don't want to deal with me anymore. so now i'm talking directly to BC Racing. this is getting really irritating... at this rate, i won't be able to install them until a month from now!

JustAnotherAsian · 07-08-2009, 11:38 PM

oh man. so unfortunate. must be hell staring at the box.

LE05 · 07-09-2009, 03:56 PM

so, according to BC Racing themselves, 6kg F / 3kg R are now the standard spring rates for the camrys.

for anyone else that wishes to order them, do not order the standard, ask for custom spring rates if you want the rears a little stiffer.

i think i'll just install them as they are... i don't want to deal with the hassle of getting replacement springs and shipping the originals back.
