tein allll the way

 

Couple months ago, I were looking into TEIN, but too bad they didn't make one for the 05 SE V6, so I ended up with EIBACH.

 

:facepalm:

Buddy you KNOW this has been covered time and time again....you're no newbie, you also know how to do a search.

You've read a lot of threads on springs,...... Don't be lazy and start searching through threads.

 

I got the megan racing springs last week for like 90 and 35 shipping on ebay not bad price. I installed them saturday and gives a very good drop 2" front and 1.8" back. Right now its not a lot of space between tires and fender and it will drop more ones springs settle in.

Final result

 

How does the ride on megans feel?

 

I recommend them its a nice ride. I got megan because I like the ride my friend had on his acura tsx also with megan springs..I just got them on 2 days ago so they will drop even more = ]....I noticed while installing them that I might need new shocks = [ any idea which ones?

Appreciate the advice and i might try those megans for the price and looks like it gave you the drop im looking for But I noticed the megan says it fits 02 03 04 05. Isnt the 03 strut diff from the 05?

 

no problem glad to help ....and yeah 05 struts are different from 03...02 and 03 are the same but 04 05 06 are different.

 

02-04 are the same (Gen5) and 05-06 (Gen5.5) are different.

 

04 is from gen5 but same struts as 05 and 06...different from 02 and 03

 

Ok cuz on ebay the megan springs says for 02 03 04 05 06 lol.. So I dont want to order wrong ones ;\

What I would worry about springs would be if its i4 or v6 since its weight...the v6 will probably drop more in the front since its heavier but regardless it will fit(springs) both i4 and v6 from 02 till 06 camry

 

Ok im kinda confused the struts are diferent so the springs are too correct? So why does ebay have the same set of springs from 02-06 camry?LOL Sorry for being a newb

example these- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mega...W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5ad62dadc8QQitemZ390140374472QQptZRaceQ5fCarQ5fParts

Because its a different model camry and the suspension components change but not where the spring sits.

Yes those will fit you car if its from 02 till 06
If you want to get shocks 02-03 are different than from 04-06 model camry's even though 04 camry its still gen 5 not 5.5 its still different in that compartment than 02-03 but the same as the newer generation 5.5

Hope that answers your questions

 

Ok just kinda wierd that the struts are diff but the springs still fit? Lol but ok ill probably order those megans. Thanks aldo

 

Yeah no problem Steve...nice rims

 

do you guys get a knocking noise on the front struts with lowering springs? idk if my stabilizer bar was touching on my subframe or not or maybe somthing else

 

Yeah I know what sound you are talking about. I tried everything and basically replaced everything from strut mount to the struts. The only thing I did not replace was the springs the sound still came back shortly after. The sound goes away for a while and then comes back. Later after studying the suspension well I saw that the springs moved when you turned the wheel and that is how camry suspension is designed, you can also see when you open your hood the strut mount moving when you turn the wheel and it also moves the spring unlike other cars with shocks that the spring seats at a certain position and does not move at all. That is why also because I had poor quality springs called MEGAN RACING caused that knocking sound as it adjusted to the weight when you turned the wheel and turned the car and caused a knocking sound. Thankfully I got BC Racing Coilovers and slammed my car : )

 

i went back to stock and while i was putting back oem springs my bearings were destroyed D=

im thinking of going back to lowering springs id like coilovers if they were cheap! thinkin ksport lowering springs

 

I did....it was my strut mount...was broken...and it eventually snapped my spring in half...900$ later the whole front suspension has been replaced...and it is perfect.

Eibach covered my spring breakage under their million mile warranty
