Gen5 What Springs??

Sorry if this has been posted over and over. Havnt been around much but looking to put some lowering springs on my car. My car is a 03 but when i had coilovers i swapped them out for money + suspension (long story what happan with mine) but anyways the suspension i got was off a 05 camry. So i believe i need the gen 5.5 springs? What you guys recommend? I know eibachs tend to leave a gap in the front any others ? I know ebay sells some megans for like 90.. Just wanted to see what your guys input and what your running and pics would be nice thanks!

Couple months ago, I were looking into TEIN, but too bad they didn't make one for the 05 SE V6, so I ended up with EIBACH.

I got the megan racing springs last week for like 90 and 35 shipping on ebay not bad price. I installed them saturday and gives a very good drop 2" front and 1.8" back. Right now its not a lot of space between tires and fender and it will drop more ones springs settle in.

BEFORE



AFTER




Final result

What I would worry about springs would be if its i4 or v6 since its weight...the v6 will probably drop more in the front since its heavier but regardless it will fit(springs) both i4 and v6 from 02 till 06 camry
