Just wondering if Intrax lowering springs are good to put on my 97 avalon.....

Hello, i was wanting to get some lowering springs for my 97 baby. I've heard vogtland springs are the best. But i don't know where or how to order them, and i'm thinking of getting intrax springs. Then again, i heard intrax springs sag after about a year and rub. Any help? thanks alot.

A lot of people here have the Eibach springs on their Camrys, which is just a tiny different than our Avalon's. All I have heard about them is positive things. I would try and go that route.

Hmmm. Thanks for the info, but i want at least a 1.5" drop, and i heard eibach springs only drop about 1.3". Anyone know where i can get some vogtland springs?

I think you could get away with just the springs.

'95 suspension springs

I noticed that the sites that I've been to have Avalon springs and kits starting in 1997. Is there another car model that would fit the '95 or is there a site where I can check out some springs for the 1995 model. I'm replacing the struts/shocks and I'm thinking of replacing springs while there out. I would like to drop it maybe an inch. Is there anything I should know about pairing up the struts and springs?

John
