Well, i recently gave up on my Jbody build, and decided to get back into the camry scene, one of the first things i need is........
92 Camry 5sfe Manual
Struts and springs, In your opinion, which ones are best? Post Ups, downs, experiances, and what you paid for your suspension.
Im not looking for facts though, im looking for experiances, i know about the faq i want peoples opinions.
Also where did you purchase the springs and struts?
I just put on my new front struts about a week ago, and they are pretty easy to install, compressing the springs was a bitch to get them just right. but other than that a simple 2 day install if it's your first time to do it.. on a scale from 1-10, it's a 5 on installing, just remember to line up your knuckles with the aross on the top of the struts, on and I bought mine a Vatozone.. like 95.89 with tax, I do wanna put a new set of Eibach's on there though

^Those probably aren't heat-treated, so after a few years, you'll have sagging issues. I wouldn't put anything but the best in my car, but thats my opinion. Toxico struts and Eibach springs are the way to go IMO.

I'm installing this weekend Eiback 1" springs (as I don't want to go to low) and KYB Struts. I'll let you know hhow they are in a week. I got them from TireRack, and have bought items from them before. No issues and great service.

got my eibachs on ebay for $100 brand new, about the cheapest anywhere
ebay is also has the best price for the tokicos, but performancepeddler.com does price matching. youll have to ask if theyll price match an ebay auction, which im sure they will as long as the seller is a power seller. def check with them first.
(i got my magnaflow from them, great to deal with)
with your car lowered 1", does the car scrape on the road on dips and bumps? ive been thinking about doing it to my 94 camry. not too sure though, i live in nyc and the potholes here are no joke. im thinking my muffler or something else might get damaged on a nice pothole.
because then youll need to adapt the late gen3/3.5 struts to run koni inserts.
did koni ever make gen3 struts?
if youre worried about scraping, get better and/or short stroke struts. then you end up scraping LESS then stock.
