Gen 6.5 Lowering help.

[aznlunatic206]

So i read through most of the gen 6 suspension thread, and my questions isnt really getting answered. So i was looking at the H&R springs that drop 1.4 front and 1.3in in the rear which is a mild drop, but in one of the photos there is still a fair bit amount of wheel gap. So kenny suggested to go with TEIN's which drop 2in all the way around. Does anyone have a pic with the H&R's installed and Teins? Next question is that since i have the SE version my shocks are a bit better than compared to a LE, so with these new springs installed how long is the life of my shocks before they blow? Reason why im choosing springs over coilovers is that where i love i have potholes and bumps on every block, roads here are screwed, so id like to be low but not super low and still maintain a good comfort level. So at advance speed shop i found the H&R lowering springs for $197, only the other hand, i found Teins for the years 07+, but its only for a 4cyl and i have a v6.

You'd have to buy the Teins for the Solara V6 since they don't make them for V6 Camry. Solara's will work just the same.

Do you have a link to the solara one or a part number? What year solara's should i be looking for, and i assume this will work the 2011 camry se with no issues?

Thanks, no i dont have subs in the trunk. if you get the V6 H&R springs, it might just even it out since it says 1.4 F and 1.3 R. but not to sure, I wish i could do more mods but low on funds and just a college student

another pic of my i4 SE running on 17s with H&R

[aznlunatic206]

yea, ill prolly be going with teins, anyone has the part number for them for the solara's? I have a v6 so i have no idea if it will be an even drop or if it will even work on a 2011 SE. Or what year solara springs should i be looking at?

There are no 6cyl stechs for solara.
SKL68-AUB00 is the part #. You're looking for 04-06 solara.

So with these they will work with my 2011 SE? and it will give me an even 2in drop all the way around?

Since you have a v6 the front will be lower, but I don't know if the gap will be even. I'd find someone who's had them on a v6 and see.
