Best drop springs for ride comfort? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

REVLIMIT · 08-20-2004, 05:21 PM

Hey wassup normally I tune my Camaro for drifting so most of the companies I see that make springs for Camry's I didn't really hear of. Or I did hear of but just don't really know much about their quality. Anyways I was looking to drop my 92 Camry somewhere around 2" and I was wondering which brand has the best ride comfort? I'm not really looking for a performance handling type drop but more just for looks and ride comfort. I've seen aerospeed, intrax, dropzone, etc. Did a seach but didn't really come up with much. Thanks in advnce.

eibach ive heard has close to stock ride quality, but it lacks a little on drop. still though its a noticeable difference.

i approve of intrax as well. before i got my tokico struts they were very stock-like

H&R makes -40mm springs, will fit on your stock shocks although it's recommended to upgrade those as soon as you can afford it (stock shocks will wear much quicker)

comfort also lies within the choice of tyres/wheels; up to you to find the right balance

Personally, i like the vogtlands best. good drop great ride as long as you have tokicos.

Jon, steve has eibach, what did you think of his ride?

how does vogtland pair up with KYB GR2? will the KYB will be too soft?

steves ride was about perfect. and i could totally tell his car was lowered. besides the loose swaybar bushing clanking around during hard cornering, the car felt great.

I had the KYBs and they just suck. I blew them in less than a year. The tokicos are a much better product.

I was very happy with the way that my H&R and Tokico setup handled

But the drop on the H&R's is not much(Only 1.25" drop) I have a set of new sprngs on the way so we'll see how that goes

I got Intrax/Tokico from the Camry on my ES...

I have pretty much new 4 month old Monroes struts all around. They should last awhile with lowering springs? Yes or no?

So you had the KYBs with the Vogtland springs?
Or you just had KYBs with stock springs?
I went with KYB because it was my mom's car, and she preferred a more comfy ride, and I heard that Tokico gives a really stiff ride. So that was the reason for KYB.... I did consider Monroe... but they are just too "Buick" ... if you know what i mean.
But if it was my car, I would go for Tokico...

ooo that sounds good
i get a lil more drop then u, i get 1.4 front and 1.3 rear
exactly wat i wanted too, didnt want more and kill my front bumper, dang wish the city would repave all the roads lol

5spd V6 ClrTail · 08-22-2004, 01:37 AM

So, are my new Monroes okay for lowering springs?

REVLIMIT · 08-22-2004, 02:56 AM

I'm guessing the monroes would be fine for the Eibachs or H&R's but I"m guessing if you put a lower drop then they (the monroes) won't really like it.
