New To Suspension

[shadowfox1290]

i have a 2000 toyota camry V6 with stock suspension and i am looking to get a front strut bar and a full lower sway bar (front and back) a litlle later but was planning on upgrading the suspension first

I was planning on buying a set of Eibach lowering springs 1.2 in" front and back to stiffen it (i don't mind it kinda bumpy i want it to sit flat around the turns and not lean like it does now on the "luxury" suspension - ask me there is nothing luxurious about the car dipping down around a turn) the springs are 212$ and i was looking to spend 150-200 more on something else besides the sway or strut bars and was wondering what the best investment was

i was planning on getting a camber kit but from what i have read a 1 inch drop really doesn't need one or like lower control arms or sumthin not really sure just looking for advice for people who have experience with this and know what would benifit me the most now and maybe a little later down the road

P.S. i replaced the struts about a year and a half to two years ago so there in good working order but stupid me replaced them with stock toyota struts in my garage instead of getting some nicer ones then and there

any advice appreciated

Unless you have plans to lower your car further or get into auto-x then you don't really need to do much else to your suspension. I would say you could buy shorter struts but you don't really need them for 1.2" drop. LCAs look pretty but you don't really need those either.

I suggest you put the $200 to use elsewhere. Intake is a nice inexpensive mod. Great sound, better gas mileage, and a lil extra scoot from the engine. Or just go ahead and buy your strut bar if you wanna stiffen up your steering response.

well i already have a short ram intake with K&N high flow filter on it and a Dynomax Super Turbo muffler and also i am kinda new so forgive my stupidity what is a "LCA"

[00accord44]

LCA = Lower Control Arms

And don't worry about it... I've been here forever and my stupidity is on display daily.

Well since you already have intake and exhaust, you could put the $200 toward some cosmetic mods or start saving for something bigger... or just buy a lot of beer. That's what I personally recommend.

ahh new information i was going to buy eibach springs because i had heard and read good things about them but i just found out from some more browsing that i can get a set of TRD (Toyota racing development) springs for like 5 dollars more and i was wondering if anyone has had any experience or knows anything good or bad about either of what just looking to do it right the first time through

I have no experience with TRD products for a Camry. Friend of mine has TRD Celica stuff and I never knew it to be too problematic. But then again, he rarely drove it B20 CRX N/A 275whp > TRD Celica 180hp

But Eibach is quality so its up to you...

Is this a joke? This is a honda forum, and if you really are trying to make a camry "handle" then I would recoment stripping it, good wheels and tires, coil overs, and of course swaybars.
The easiest would be to sell your car and get a Honda.
