If i was to get ground control coil sleeves what would be the best spring rate setting?

are you talking about coilovers for the gen 2 camry? or something else. i am not really sure what this is ground control coil sleeves.

As far as i know, they don't make ground control coilovers for the gen2. Instead you'll have to get the trusty intrax spring/ tokico/kyb strut combo. i have this setup on my 89 gen2 and it works great. In addition i have an ES250 front strut bar and i added a stock rear sway bar cause my car didn't come with one.

would i be able to go and find a stock rear sway bar at a junkyard and off another gen 2 camry?

You sure would. I got my stock rear sway bar off a V6 gen2 at my local junkyard. It only cost me $15. Make sure to grab the endlinks too, cause on some of the cars they've already been swiped. Also see if you can find an ES250 at your local junkyard and grab the front strut bar off of that as well. If you do happen to find an ES250 you can take the rear sway bar off of it cause its the same as on the camry. Hope this helps bro.

yes, it does a lot. thanks. i will be going to the junkyard tomorrow. hehe.

i hope to be able to find a front lip for it also. cause i do see some camry's with front lips from time to time.

or does anyone know a body kit that it is not to extreme looking that would fit the camry and it looks better then stock.

The front lip from the 91 gen2's look pretty choice. You should be able to find one at the yard that is in pretty good condition. I'm looking for one myself because the stock lip on my 89 is all bent to shit and looks terrible. I'm not much of a body kit guy myself, i like the clean old school look of the gen2.

Thanks for the info... btw how much drop do you get from the intrax springs?

89SV21 · 07-06-2005, 12:12 AM

1.5 inches front and back

Is there any other company that makes springs for the gen2 besides King/Intrax?

89SV21 · 07-06-2005, 03:09 AM

Those are the only companies that i've ever heard of that make springs for the gen2. The intrax springs are really good though, nice firm ride with a decent drop.

clp86rom · 07-06-2005, 11:49 PM

yup. i am getting them soon. i hope they dont stop producing them by the time i want to get them.

afyouthbrigade · 07-07-2005, 06:32 AM

can someone post a link to a site that sells the intrax springs for the gen2? i've looked around before and couldnt come up with much. i've heard of people getting a full set for around $100? i'd really like to drop my car.

i'm guessing that my v6 gen2 already has a rear sway bar from a previous post

and...what does everyone think about those front tower strut bars for the camry's sold on ebay for $5? they actually worth buying? actually...sometimes they're $3--but the shipping is still $20, and i'm sure they make some money off of that
