lowering springs

[jojopell]

I am mosty likey going to get Toyota

92 - 96 Camry (V6) 75.1.004 1.6" / 1.5" $269.00

OR
SPARCO SPRINGS, DROPS 1.4 FR, RR. $240.00
OR
H&R SPRINGS, DROPS 1.30 FR.,1.25 RR. 6 CYL $250.00

Which one should I get. My real question is, can I just get the springs now and put them on. Then later when I have money get the struts. Or is it best if I wait untill I have both products. I know I keep asking you guys these questions about what should I get but thats just b/c u know ur shit.
Thanks in advance.

you can just get the springs now.

I'd go with the H&R or Intrax springs (first one you listed).

I would install the springs and struts at the same time. Otherwise you have to remove and install twice.

But if your doing the install yourself, do whatever you want.

id do it all at once, otherwise its a lot of unnecessary work

If your doing it yourself and you apparently live in NY, you defiantly want some air tools. There is a hex bolt connecting the stabilizer bar to the strut housing. And as I am sure you know, rusty bolt are really east to get off.

Intrax! Do the Intrax!

*edit*
and like 88 LE says, you *really* need to change your struts at the same time. Lowered springs will blow brand new OEM struts in a few months. Old gen3 struts??? I wouldn't expect them to last a full month and them be in good condition... *especially* if you have some subs in the back!

my 7 year old struts have lasted for a while now with lowered springs =) no differnet feeling since putting them on, so im guessing theyre still doing what they have to do.

I say go with Whitelines!

CrawlingEye has dibs on those right now though...

Of what's easily available, I'd suggest H&R.
If you're actually going for performance with this, not just looks, get Koni inserts when you've got enough cash for them. If you just want looks and a good ride, get Tokicos. Either way, install springs & struts together. You'll save a ton of labor costs, or personal time if you do both at once.

Get everything together before you start.
I recommend doing shocks and springs at the same time...
add on a second alignment job if you do it twice.
Go with full strut replacement instead of inserts.
I went with inserts and...it was messy.
Also you get to see the new shock housings which is megacool.
H&Rs and Tokicos inserts are the way I went...
Also check your pricing, seems just a little high.

Choose based on performance though, not ease of installation. If you decide to go with Tokico, go full assembly. Don't rule out Koni just because they're inserts though.

Thanks everybody. I think I know what I need to do.
