best 3rd gen suspension - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

WestCoastff · 07-31-2005, 02:02 PM

like the topic says... Im going to be doing 18's, semi low pro tires but i want a drop thats gonna keep a minimal gap between my tire and wheel well. I want something thats gonna be a smooth ride, not bouncing me up and down every 3 seconds. What kinda drops are you guys using, and what other ones are out there? I know the 3rd gen camry isnt the most popular car, so finding a good suspension kit might be hard. thanks

ohhh hell yea i get to be flamed for not searching

Just like honda tech.... I did search, and i didnt find any first hand opinions on suspension, i didnt find which suspensions were shaky and very bouncy.... just looking for first hand opinions thats all. Thanks though, ill try to search some more.

sorry, i thought you were trying to bag me with that quote on the bottom of your profile, i didnt know it was your sig. Im never really on this forum. A bigger muffler with a slanted angle would look a lot better with the muffler gap in the bumper. Thanks again for the link

youv emade a very bad start for yourself.

firstly, we cant answer your question because you dont have your stuff yet anyway. there is no way we can answer a question like yours. wat is 'minimal' gap? and what is teh current gap (with your non existant larger diameter wheel that you have) when you say smooth do you mean smooth (luxury --soft shit for corners) or smooth as in firm (sporty good for corners)

if you even bothered to search or read a few pages of topics, youll realese what the answer is.

if you really need an answer here, the bottom line is:

SPRINGS determine ride height.
SHOCKS determine ride quality.

ill just put a few random words here so it reminds you that you posted stupidly when you go do a seach and this post comes up

i wasnt trying to bag anyone...but my muffler is an apexi n1 universal....the camera angle picture of the sig is probably werid, and my muffler isnt angled like 45 degrees, but yes its a little bent to the side, was thinking about having the muffler shop re-weld it, but ehhh, ill do it sometime later

yeh go ahead angle it up so you burn ya bumper

my tip exits under the bumper a bit so i get a healthy bit of dirt/crud on my bumper after a bout a week. it doesnt burn, but it just dumps out a lot of crap that gets stuck in the pipes

Coilovers is best.

Next would probalby be an eibach/tockiko setup.

rusty9 · 07-31-2005, 06:23 PM

good luck with 18's and "semi-low profile"....

ECale3 · 07-31-2005, 07:28 PM

go with K-Sport or D2 coilovers, then adjust them to your preference.

WestCoastff · 07-31-2005, 09:28 PM
