Lowered Spring

[Camrypaka]

Dear All,
Any body got experience lowered the Camry Model 2005. Any suggestion on Spring Brand ? Because when I went to the shop they recommended me with a few brand name i.e Eaibach, Tanabe and H&R. What I need are lower the car with comfort are maintain.


Thank

How much do you want to lower your car? (number of inches, I mean... not desire)

[JOSHKENNEDY]

cant go wrong with the TRD springs

From what i've seen/heard, anything over 1" makes the car look so much better, i would recommend ones that would give 1.5-1.75" of drop. (Can't remember what brand it is.)

That should be a good rule of thumb

BTW check out the G/D general info mega sticky too, there might be some pointers in there for you as well.

Dear Hawkeye,
I dont mine how much it lower but the original comfort must be maintain.

go with the TRD springs (made by eibach), but if you dont want to sacrifice any ride quality and arn't lowering just for the look, then go with the TRD rear sway bar, your car will handle much better, just still have the cushiony ride

So if you lower the car with the TRD spring the ride will be worse

Depends on which model you have to start with. The SE's have a stiffer suspension to start with so mine made minimal difference when I put my TRD springs in. Just less suspension travel so easier to bottom out the springs going over big bumps. Can't comment on the other models as I have not ridden in them but my info is they have a softer suspension setup so might make them a bit bouncier.

eibach springs are the stiffest springs available, but with the lowest drop

but in the end, it won't make much of a difference in stiffness- that is the struts' job

[Toodeep]

Yeah cool i have an GEn5 Se too

same here........the ride isn't that bad......not to me anyway. i just need to drive more cars to compare. but i might just lower it anyway because it'll look good.

Ok I have TRD Springs (Eibach private labeling) on my 03 Camry. From what I've heard, if you are buying TRD springs... MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT YEAR/Application TRD springs did NOT give that low of a drop (which I prefer, only about 1")! I have 18" Rims and it looks perfectly fine, because when I hit speed bumps, I dont have to slow down too much and it goes past it without scratching. I had an LE so the ride definitely feels stiffer. But I'm use to it. If you dont want too low of a drop that u can ride over hills and bumps without having to ride it sideways... go with TRD. Sprint springs also make an application for the camry. And intrax, tein... A lot but TRD/Eibach has excellent springs... ALL ON PREFERENCE! :0)

i just want the front to be a lot lower than it is. either that or put a lip kit......vizage probably =/
