Suspension Set up

[TypeRex187]

Just wanted to know what is the best suspension set up is best for the Gen4? Something is sporty but at the same time it is comfortable. Just wanted to see what are the choices i have, i haven't really decide on what to get either coilovers (Tein, Apex-i, etc.) or springs and shocks (eibach, tokico, kyb, etc.) As for the price range if it is worth it i will get it! so please if you guys can help me i apperiate it alot thanks again!

Eibachs which spring package would be the "better choice" and Tokico which sturts to go with?thanks for the reply... ... Does anyone know about the Tein SS coilver on the gen4 if they are good or not??

get the tokico blues and the eibach pro-kit. i had the eibach sportlines/tokico blue combo on my 93 corolla and i think i will have a permenant back injury b/c of it. that car woulda been perfect with the pro-kit. the pro kit gives a better ride than the sportlines.

i really wanna get a set of eibach pro-kit springs for my camry but the last owner just put brand new monroe sensa tracs on it and i dont know if they will hold up to the eibachs.

I heard this is good as hell in terms of handling but it gets kinda uncomfortable.

Do Tein S-tech springs with Tokico blues. The ride is perfect and the springs actually correct for understeer by increasing spring rates in back more than front. They also drop more in front 1.7 inches than .5 inches in rear to even out fender gaps. Eibach pro kit just drops 1.5 all around and you end up with a bigger fender gap up front. Teins give it an aggresive stance. The 1.7 inch drop is not too low either. Everyone always says its to low "oh no not a lowered car in the snow!!! Whatever, I have the Teins and Tokicos with 35 series tires, (thats about an inch of rubber) on 18 inch rims. It does fine in snow. I scrape on some driveways if I dont come out at an angle and some parking barriers but it is no big deal. The ride is smoother than stock and it corners like a dream. Night and day difference. The "plowing effect" is reduced and it is more predictable at the limits. Tokicos are amazing units, KYB is basically stock. Go with the Tokicos. If you can afford Tein SS coilovers, do it. They will even it out even better and allow you to adjust preload, corner weight, height everything.

I've heard only good things about the ride comfort and quality of the Tein SS coilovers from the Solara guys. They convinced me to get a set for myself. Still uninstalled though so I can't give you feedback.

Edit:

get some real coilovers - you'll end up spending close to about the same just getting a good (expensive) spring and strut combo

and the advantages of getting full coilovers is limitless as long as you order the right spring rates from the very beginning

Thanks alot for the info... Yea Coilovers are going to set me back around 7 to 8 bills with the Tein SS coilovers Has anyone tested out the Tanabe Coilovers?

[Eye8Pussies]

^ should be more than that??

are you sure those are full coilovers, or just inserts?

you can also check out the new D2 coilovers that just came out for the camrys

[TypeRex187]

I know some people that can get a set for me around 8bills

[Eye8Pussies]

do it

[terrastrife]

tien or d2 coil overs.

[97camryman]

Umm Tokicos for $400, Tein Stech springs for $200 versus $1400 for Tein SS coilovers. That makes Tein SS more than twice as expensive. But if you have hookups, pay the extra few hundred for coilovers!!!

Do it.

Tockiko/Eibach: 350-400//225

About 100-200 less but you can't go wrong w/ adjustable suspension.
