Sorry about the first blank reply, I can only vouch for the TRD springs, I have them on a 02 SE V6, w/stock struts, love them, I liked the idea of the TRD because they are usually very slow bringing stuff to market, so I think it's safe to say they should be a very reliable way to go. Also anything backed by Toyota will work for me.

I don't know how much drop the TRD springs lower the car b/c I can't seem to find the listed anywhere? The Eibach springs have a 2" front and a 1.2" rear drop. I don't know if this is correct b/c there is quite a difference here. The H&R ones drop F: 1.4" R:1.3".

Eibach springs tend to use a thinner coil spring and H&Rs normally are thicker and better made. This was in the past and I have not seen what they look like for the 02 Cam V6s yet.

Btw, what's the price for the TRD springs? I'm sure they're probably made by Eibach but if not by who?

Thanks,

The TRD web site says, 1.25inch front and back, but I think it lowered mine a little more. The idea of the TRD parts is to keep warranty, so I think you should be ok w/factory warranty.
