2nd Generation es250 spring options

My es250 is in need of a suspension overhaul since it handles like a fat lady at an all-you-can eat chili cook off, but after looking at aftermarket components, I haven't been able to find any lowering springs for it.

I looked for gen2 v6 stuff, but couldn't find anything, and methinks using the I4 springs would create a rediculous rake.

I think I saw someone who used stock I4 springs in the front with aftermarket ones in the back, and there was also some company in New Zealand or something that might have made some es250 springs...who knows though.

You guys have any insight here

(oh yeah, I'll probably be getting KYB GR-2's)

The I4 springs will create a rake, but it's not too bad, and if you can tolerate it, than it'll be fine. Oh, and with our camry's, they all handle like fat ladies at an all-you-can-eat chili coof off. My Camry has equally bad, if not worse body roll going around a roundabout than my kia minivan

I have seen some pics of a clean, black gen2 v6 that had the springs, but I dunno where the pics are. Hopefully someone can post them.

^Nah, that's joe's camry, and it's more of a dark gray.

I remember one that was black and didn't have a kit, but looked clean as hell. I'll try to find a pic tonight.
