Does Eibach or H&R or who ever...Make 2" or 2.5" Spirngs for the V6 Camry??

I want to stay away from coilovers...

Thanks for the help!

Not that I am aware of. The closest to 2" that you will find are the Sprints I think...and the Intrax...and I would definately stay away from those. Have a friend with a set of the Sprints on his Mazda and after 4 months we still don't think they have settled :razz:

Why do you want to stay away from coilovers....

i have coilover sleeves on the front of my car. let me just begin to show you how much i hate it.

first of all you must know that i still only have stock struts (this is key).

the car bounces every time i hit any kind of bump. i mean you can really feel the road (not a good feeling hehe). you hit an ant and you rebound 4-5 times. not to scare anyone away from these, i bought a cheap universal kit, the spring rate is waaay to high, and it was a complete waste of money.

second thing about coilovers are creaking sounds while turning the wheel. not only after i cut the wheel does it creak/pop, my car will pull in that direction until i overadjust to straighten it out :grin:

i just ordered some intrax springs, and let me tell you i am praying they come soon!

i think if i had some tokicos or some afermarket struts things would be very different (no bouncing).

I have the sprint springs. They claimed to drop my car 1.8" They dropped the back about 4" and the front about 3". I'm not really complainting, it looks awesome. I have some 18" motegi mr5's with toyo proxies sr1 tires size 225/40z/18. The fit is perfect. I know that sprint springs aren't the best but they do a pretty good job.

Having sprint springs, how would you rate your ride quality?

The only reason I wanted to stay away from coilovers was because of winter...However..I was told that Ground Control coil overs will be perfect in the winter....sooooooo

Not sure if GC makes sleeves for the Gen3, but definitely for the Gen4/Solara. I went with H&R sport springs with a ~1.3"/1.4" drop only because Eibachs are only 1.0", and probably wouldn't be noticeable on my Gen3.

I don't know what everyones fuss about Sprint is. I think they work just perfectly, the drop was as they said, the ride is awsome (not rough or bumpy) and they had a nice price. I'm glad i bought these springs

[lankanprince]

Where you buy your sprint springs from.. how much did they cost altogether

My local speed shop......it was over a year ago, but i think it was around $230 for the springs.

Are the intrax or the sprint any good? I want more drop then the H&R but I still want a good ride. Any suggestions??
