Lowering Springs for GEN 5

[Blacktivo]

Hey guys,

any1 here has king springs fitted to the GEN 5 Camrys?

if so hows the ride and also the height?

I'm planning to get these done very soon and dont know if I should stick to Kings or other brands

I have a few springs in mind these are:

1. Kings Springs.

2. Eibach Springs (TRD rebadged) or

3. Tein S Tech Springs

the last 2 options are very popular in the US and in other toyota forums.

I have KINGSPRINGS SUPERLOWS. 30mm-50mm i think.

they're amazing. B)

i used Kings Low on my SV21 before

yeah i agree they are amazing.... amazingly crap!!

[perthcamry]

I have lows on my gen 5.5, ummm they are ok , I would not go any lower for bother of hitting things.

I had Eibach on my golf and they were stiffer spring comapared to stock Golf. I dont think the Kings are any stiffer than stock.

have any of you guys have pics of king springs on the gen 5 for me 2 have a look @.

how low is kings low?

hi guys,

i have just dropped in to wholesale suspension in penrith

unfortunately they do not have tein s tech springs

and was offered king springs.

2 height available:

low 30-35mm

super low 35mm-50mm

has any1 fitted the super low to their GEN5's?

if so hows the ride quality and comfort?

please help dont know which one to pick.

Quoted $470 fitted with wheel alignment.

If anyone have to replace shocks and springs at the same time, i'd save up an extra couple of hundred for coil overs. The G4 coil overs are only $1399 And installing them is easy - dont need spring compressors because you wont need to take the springs out of the struts - just replacing the whole strut assembly with a new one. All you need to do is really a wheel alignment done after you installed them.

Hi guys,

i have contacted my local parts dealership and was advised that if i get kings super lows it should be ok.

I have the sportivo model and was advised that they are sports shocks good for 100,000km or 5 years.

The part department said that the sportivo shocks are of sports design which is different to the base model camrys without sports suspension so i think im safe in this case.

hopefully i wont get any scrapes around town.
