5th & 6th Generation (2002-2006 & 2007-2011)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 2002-2006 & 2007-2011
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
I was debating getting the Eibach Pro-Kit but with more research and talking around, Coilovers seem to be more beneficial in the long run simply because of the adjustments that can be made in case I rub or if I want to raise it in the winter.
The rims coming in are 20" Lexani LX-7's on 225/35 by Toyo Proxes sitting 8.5" wide and a +40 offset. I was told to check out Ksport but 2 guys I know apparently won't let them touch their car as "it's the worst coilovers on the planet." That's when I was referred to BC coilovers for $1150 tax in.
Anyone with experiences on BC coilovers or coilovers in general and how the ride is? I can't be bothered to read 90+ pages on the suspension thread. Let me know peeps!

i doubt you'll get much help since you have a thread about slammed gen5s that is pretty active and since you "can't be bothered" to read about 'your own' car and the mods that you want to make to 'your own' car.
people seem to like BCs. you will most likely have to roll your fenders on the eibachs or coils if you plan on setting them to a respectable height. what happened to your RS want?

Dude what are you talking about? I don't have a thread on slammed Gen5's, I own a Gen6.
And yeah I don't want to read 90+ pages on suspension since I don't have the time to sit in front of my computer to go through it all. Starting this thread should make it easy for simple input, that's all I need.
I hope the BC's work out if I take that path but I really don't want to roll my fenders man lol. It just keeps adding up in $$$ from one thing to the next. I should get away with 1.5" lowered all around, at least that's what "Wheels Next" online told me going with that exact rim and tire size.

Are KSports the best coilovers on the planet? No. Are you gonna be doing some hard driving on your camry with 20's that you need really high spring rates and the best dampening on coilovers known to man? No. For what your looking for, 1.5in drop all around, ANY coilover brand will be fine.
your ride is gonna be bumpy, especially since your on 20's.

sorry, had you confused with someone else. if you only want to lower 1.5", there is no point in even considering coilovers. just get h&rs or eibachs. and you wont rub, thought you had a gen5 since you didn't mention. if you would read that thread you would know a lot more about your own car and the mods you want to make.

...and it would not be practical to adjust the coil overs height every winter as you plan to do.
I have a 2010 on 20s, they honestly lifted my car higher then stock, so the eibach or h&r will put you down to prettymuch stock height, so clearance for snow won't be a issue ... honestly if plowing snow bugs u that much you shouldn't be in a car ... just sayin, unless u plan on riding slammed or close to slammed during the winter, coils are a waste for you ... stick to springs and call it a day ... especially since u don't wana read about your cars suspension your not gona want to adjust your coilovers every 6 months or handle the upkeep if you have somethin blow, a noise or leveling issues ... just being honest
lol people need to seriously get off of me, real talk, regarding that suspension thread. It's 90+ damn pages with 20 entries per page average. I'm not going to sit and read through that.
If people have an issue commenting on a thread if it has a relation to a generic thread then don't comment at all.

I don't fully understand what you were saying about how the coilovers brought you higher than stock and how springs can bring me to stock on 20's? The diameter overall on a 20 is pretty much the same as a stock tire just obviously less rubber, no? I don't understand, did you mean your coilovers brought you higher than stock with the raising adjustment?
I honestly don't mind adjusting the coilovers twice a year anyhow. I can raise it for winter and get my clearance for better driving opposed to being stuck with springs at a permanent height without switching suspension. Come after winter time, wouldn't the coilovers be best to adjust my height as low as possible without rubbing anyhow? I mean I thought I'd honestly hear more positive outcomes on coilovers. Even if I'm only dropping the ride 1" or 2" I can accomodate any rubbing based on my wheel instead of being stuck with a spring can't I?

I'll make this clear and cut...
Buy BC's... you won't regret it..

He's saying once he put the 20s on his car it raised it up due to the diameter of the wheel/tire so basically if you get springs the drop will give you stock height back since your going with 20s. if that makes any sense, also i don't think he has coilovers.

yeah but that would just mean that i can adjust my coilovers to go lower than the original height, right?

you can do your research on the eibach pro-kit, but you refuse to read through 90 pages on a thread solely dedicated on suspension?
