Question new suspension for 99 Camry

I bought my 99 Camry V6 from my cousin. He cut the springs into half made the car lower. Now i wanna have a new lower suspension for more comfort. I need some suggestions for the springs, shocks, everything needed for the new suspension. Thank you so so much!

first of all....cutting stock springs is probably the BIGGEST no no of all....if you do any aggressive driving, you should rightfully be run off the road and dead by now...

and you have many choices

tein
eibach
intrax
h&r
and more

use the search button please

For a comfort suspension, I would recommend the Eibach and Tokico combo. I had the combo on for 20 hrs, and it was REALLY comfy, a lot better ride than my H&Rs. But for the BEST ride I would just say keep the OEM suspension (or at least get the OEM springs since yours are cut)

Eibachs are the top springs arguable. They never sag. The only down side is they are i believe around 200-250 USD a set.

Tockiko struts are very popular struts. They'll cost you somewhere around 350 USD.

ummm....how are tokicos good for comfort? they're not as bad as the koni's, but they're wayyy harsher than the kybs

i have tokico struts and eibach springs. it's not as comfy as OEM, but still not bad. only over rough surfaces it is pretty stiff. but around corners is awesome. in my opinion well worth the tradeoff (comfy vs better handling)

For springs if you want everything in one package, the best setup is Vogtlands, Tockicos and whiteline. The Vogtland springs give the best drop/ride compromise.
As for the KYB's mention earlier, i had them on my camry for a year and a half, They blew within the first 7 months of use, with no drop. Had i been able to get the money sooner(and weather to work on my car on a day off) i would have change out the tokicos sooner.
