Gen5 question?

hi, hope everyone's having a great day

i had a quick question i found these springs, http://www.cardomain.com/item/SPR8009, with Approximate suspension drop (front / rear): 1.80 / 1.80 in. and i was wondering if they would fit (5th gen camry). i know they say they will, but i noticed that trd springs and other manufac. were not as big of a drop, if not mistake ~1.4 in, just wanted to know what you guys thought before i go ahead and get em.

thanks alot in advance

Shyam

sprint springs are the ones that are supposed to sag over time so i'd steer away from them

Yeah, they'll fit fine. But as cuttooth said, Sprint springs are going to keep sagging, and your 1.8" drop is going to get bigger and bigger forever.

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.

Thats overpriced. I've seen TEIN springs on sale for around $130-$150

Get a set of Eibachs... 1.4 in the front, 1.1 in the back, and they preserve the ride quality better than any other springs. TRD uses Eibach springs, only rebadged.
