trd spring installed - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

finally got a chance to install some lowering springs on the avalon. I bought the 07 v6 trd camry springs last year and tried to install then but it didn't line up correctly so i didn't fully install it. So i bought vogtland springs and tried installing them yesterday and they were straight up wrong. Since i had the strut apart and read that someone got the trd springs i pulled them out and tried again. I still don't feel there right but got it to line up enough to work. The drop is more then 2 inch all around to me. My back wheels are tucked in and the front probably a half finger gap. My limited struts are way to soft and the drop is way to much for them. The car rides horrible. Its bouncy and harsh. Handling is way better but the front spring is more stiff then the rears and u can feel it in the cornering. Well i keeping them on for one more week so i can take pics with my 20's installed next week. I got to recall vogtland about the springs today cuz they feel the 97-03 v6 camry springs are the same as the 3rd gen avalons and they are not even close. If any buddy that know how to post pics can leave there email so i can send pics to get posted up.

vogtland is suppose to have new avalon springs released around mid may for 05 and up avalons. maybe you can switch to proper springs.

When Vogtland release these springs I will be purchasing them but Im not sure if i should go with 19" rims rather then 20" rims I will have the carson lip kit with the vogtland springs. I just need others opinions to make my decision.

i don't know how to post pics i email them to ya and 20's are on the drop look sick with them

Send the pics my way too... I have a set of springs on order but am hesitant to install since there are days when my car doesn't look like it can handle an 1.8 inch drop. I wonder how it'll handle having passengers in the back with the new springs since the car pretty much tucks already with factory springs and 1 passenger in the back.

also i got the wrong offset for my 20's +35 so i rub all day long . Passangers in the back seat is a no no. But i gettin new 20's soon jus waitin for the vogtland to go on to see.

looks GREAT but all that tire rubbing would drive me insane!!

nike23spoon · 06-02-2008, 03:02 PM

so wat springs are u riding on right now? so need offset of +42 to avoid rubbin on 20's? i'm still uncertain wats the appropriate offset to avoid rubbin for both front and back after lowering the avy.

Looks nice...

avy327 · 06-05-2008, 03:52 PM

my guess would be that +42 won't rub with a drop. I still on the trd springs, still waiting on vogtland to send the correct springs out. They told me they got them in yesterday so hopefully i get them soon.
