97 Toyota Avalon XLS suspension upgrades

Hello.

I'm new to ToyotaNation and wanted some help with some suspension upgrade tips. So far, the only shocks/struts I have found are KYB's and Tokico. Springs, the only ones I have found are Intrax. From what I have heard, Intrax springs are really not that good (is that true??). Are there any other manufacturers that make springs for the Avy?? Please help!! Planning on getting some chrome wheels for the car and wanted to upgrade the suspension before doing so. Thanks a million!

The Tokico's are pretty good shocks. I have them on my avalon. The Intrax springs to suck. I haven't seen anything else out there other than bagging the avalon. I know it sounds a little crazy and the ride might be a little weird, but thats the only thing I found out there.

Good luck

Scott
