I love this site! Very helpful!
Chad- what's the problem with the Sprint springs? Epsilon made a good point about going with the TRD's so I can maintain my warranty. Is it also true that Eibach manufactures TRD springs? (I can't remember where I read that but I'm sure I saw that in a post somewhere)
They are just crap, saggy, noisy, bottom up your struts...Just STAY AWAY from that brand, they came out with the springs to lower the Camry 1.75 all around, and that's NOT true, they made 1(ONE) set of spring for all the models, and there is a difference in the front weight of the 4 vs 6 cyl (200 pounds), or the difference in the struts on the XLE vs the SE...I believe they tested (if they ever did such a thing) on a SE 6 cyl, so with the difference in dampening and stiffer struts that the SE have in comparison with the other models, it may work on a SE 6 cyl (I doubt it).
In my case I have an XLE 4 cyl and the car didn't lower even all around, it did 1.75 on the back and 1.25 on the front, it sags, it makes noises, very unsafe on an uneven road at high speeds. The only reason I'm keeping the sprints on my car is because I love the way it looks and I only drive the car 20 miles at day on a very nice road.
Like everybody says EIBACH/TRD are the only ones that will work and lower your car a little bit, and if you have them installed at the dealer you will keep your warranty. I wish some company would make some good adjustable coilcovers to lower the car at least 1.8 or 2 inches all around and be functional and safe. Maybe some day, when companies start thinking outside the box and realize that the Camry is not the old folks family car anymore, then we will have a variety of aftermarket stuff like the Accord does..
Good luck
