lowering springs and possibly shocks/struts

[DrtySthV6SE]

My car needs lowering bad. MY dad asked me today when i was going to get some springs so i was going to ask you guys for advice. I believe my SE is supposed to have some kind of sport struts (i could be wrong) but my dad said i might not want to get new shock/struts yet because i would not want a very STIFF ride. QUESTION: What are the best springs to get for like a 2" front drop and a 1.5" back drop (eibach? tokico?). And if i bought just springs and my ride was to bouncy could i get shocks/struts later and what would the best kind be (tokico?), not necesarily the most$$.

Thanks a lot.

BTW my 7 year old suspension is still very good.

I have the sprint springs, gave me about a 2&quot; drop. I still have stock struts, and have not had a problem at all, very cumfy ride.

yeah... i dont think u'll have problems withit being too boucy... cuz your struts arent that old...

with my 89... i got standard struts and the ride is as boucy as hell...

so maybe as your struts get older and gets bouncier u might need to get some performance ones...

The only springs I'm aware of that will give you the drop you're interested in (2&quot are Sprints and HR Euro Spec (Blau). Your other choice, but not quite a low incl. Eibach, Intrax and HR Amer spec.

As for the struts, 7 yrs isn't bad. But consider the labour cost when you do decide to replace them down the road. Why not do it all at once and save a few bucks. Your choices here incl. Tokicos and Bilstiens (aka TRD)

Installing the springs etc would not be a problem for me. My dad rebuilds old cars and stuff (i will post some pics on my camry site when i get it up) and we could install them easy. what do the Sprint springs go for, about 200 US?

Thanks

[alex]

I paid like $210 US for them, about a year ago, so they probably are down a little bit from that

[DrtySthV6SE]

Alex yours does not scrape on the underside of the car or inside the wheel well does it. i dont have a body kit so i really dont have to worry about bumpers scraping

[alex]

nope, it only scraped when i went down a steep driveway or something. other then that i was fine, just had to be a little bit more careful.....oh and the wheels did not rub either

[DrtySthV6SE]

Aight thanks a lot man i think i might try for the Sprints.

[alex]

go for it :grin:
tell me how it goes
