Ah man ! i did a search on Teamsc3.com and looks like the entry level coilover system that i seen for the Camry arent height adjustable . If anyone knows more about these or has them on a Gen3 please let me know ! oh and btw.. would it be different for a 4dr Gen3 Camry to a 2dr Gen3 Camry ?

i think jic does make coilovers for camrys, but it think they're the cheap crappy ones, another company makes better ones, but theyr'e about 3-4 times the same amount as a eibach-tokico setup

Naw, JIC is very high quality. Those are the expensive ones. The low quality coilovers are the ground control units.

Shook: They make SF-1's for the Gen3s. It is what "swegyptian" is running on his 3SGTE Gen3 Coupe. They ARE height adjustable - they are coilovers. They are not stiffness adjustable though. Gen4 coilovers wont fit the Gen3 without plenty modification...

indeed they do have them for the gen3, but they are for JDM cars. you need to relocate the holes for the top mount (no biggie if you have a TIG welder). they drop the height a bunch, and are stiff as all heck. the gen3 and gen4 are not interchangable. i thought they sent me the wrong set (gen4), but i measured both generations and it wouldnt fit either one. so we modified them to fit. oh, and only the front doesnt fit, the rear is bolt on.

im intrested in buying a set of jic coilovers for the gen3. How much are you asking for and how difficult is it to modify the mounts?
