2002 Camry 4 cyl - Suspension Sucks? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

2002CamryNJ4cyl · 02-21-2005, 10:52 PM

Hi,

I have 2002 Camry 4cyl LE. I LOVE my car, it has 47000 miles and runs like new (used Mobil 1 synethetic oil from the get-go [after break-in]).

I also have 05 Honda Accord 4 cyl. Now, what I wanted to ask my fellow Camry drivers is how can I make my 02 Camry suspension a bit firmer and less leening when cornering/reduce body roll (not too much - just a little bit). The stock suspension on Camry is too soft and leans WAAAAY too much in the corner (especially when compared to Accord that I have). Now, I don't want my Camry to be sport-tuned, JUST a bit less wobbly when cornering.

I know that TRD sells springs for the Camry - will that help? Should I change all four struts when I put new springs? And (last questions - I promise), can I use strusts and springs from 2002 SE Camry on my LE?

I know there are very knowledgable people here and I thank you for your response.

I emailed Tein and asked them what type of struts they'd recommend to go with their springs. They replied stating that they test their springs with the stock struts. That's just Tein though, don't know what Toyota or TRD would say.

TRD sway bar will help.

I forget which company makes it tho.
TRD's products are all rebranded items.

Such as TRD springs are rebadged eibach springs.
I believe the accord was also made to be more sporty than the camry.

So, I should just change the springs? (Put TRD springs).
Do I have to change the struts or can I keep the ones I have?
