thinking about changing struts + springs?

[Tubbyc]

I am just wondering how many people here are still considering changing struts and springs for their cars? I am considering organizing another group buy for Tokico HP struts (made in Japan) and/or Eibach springs (made in Germany) for Gen 4 /4.5 Camry and 99-02 Solara, however, since there were so many groupbuys for the suspension systems in the system, I don't know if anyone would still NEED to change their suspension system

awww booo

you got my hopes up, Tubbyc. I was looking for the exact suspension setup...until you said:

for Gen 4 /4.5 Camry and 99-02 Solara

unfortunately, I have a Gen3 (93). Oh well...

Redline

[Tubbyc]

maybe that guy also sells struts for gen3 camry as well, I haven't asked since I have a gen4.5 camry. I don't think there are anymore people who needs to change their suspension setup, since you are the only one who shows some interests..
. If I include gen3 in the groupbuy, then who will be interested besides Redline?

Full strut, or strut insert?

Yeah, what would a good susp. setup be? Im looking for superior handleing in curves, just all around road hunging, whiteknuckled curve attacking, white line riding, like on rails, etc etc etc. Should I go with springs or struts first?

Both.

[Redline]

I have a feeling that not too many ppl are willing or need to change their setups. It would be great to get a groupbuy going....but I'm thinking you need at least 15 ppl, right?

Alas, I'm planning on doing that in the spring. Other things my money has to go towards right now.

a little off topic but i need to replace my suspension completely...
im on stock suspension with 110k miles on my car which means its even saggier than a 70 year old woman's tits

so, what are all the parts I need? I know the basics, I've seen it done before too. Struts, springs, strut mount, what else? Thinking of possibly lowering it if it will cost less than using OEM shit.

[Redline]

So, you're looking into cost, right Stealth?

The way I see it, why not drop the car instead of going for OEM, if you're already thinking about it? Saves you a whole lotta trouble when in the future you say "Damn...I wish I could drop my car..but I don't gots money now b/c I already bought the OEMs"

But, I wouldn't even think about doing them until late spring, even summer, what with winter coming. I don't know about you, but I get a lot of snow around here in January...and I don't want to be labelled "The Lowest and Pimpin'est Snow Plow in T.O."

[Stealth]

I was thinking of doing it before it starts snowing because even in little puddles of water I've hyrdoplaned. Of course it doesn't help that my back tires have low tread. I don't care too much for looks/performance of my car, since it is a 4 cylinder automatic camry after all. But I do like to drive a little fast and take turns fast so that's why I'm looking into lowering it. Maybe I should just get some stiffer springs or something but I figured lowering springs are normally stiffer...

What about the Gen 5 ppl?

[arcasmachineracing]

I would be intrested in gen 3 springs and struts... if from a good brand of course...

[Tubbyc]

hi guys,
I will ask the seller whether or not he sells anything for Gen3 and Gen 5 Camrys..

[Tubbyc]

the seller will sell Tokico HP struts for 1992-1996 Camry, as well as 1997-2001 Camry, 1999-2002 Solara for $300US.. +$35 US shipping or +$55 for Canadian shipping. He also has Eibach springs for both 1992-1996, 1997-2001, 2002+ Camry for $180 US plus similar shipping charge.
there are 2 different type of struts setup for gen3 Camry, one is serviceable, the other is not. I am not sure if this depends on the year of the Camry or not.. someone please shares their knowledge on this..
( moderator: maybe we should move this topic to groupbuy section)

if you are interested in purchasing them, please PM me, I will give you the information on the seller.
