If by perfect you mean even, then yes.

But I had good luck with my TRD springs, I had a very even drop with them...

IMO, Coilovers are the best option for lowering, they give improved performance (handling, ride, steering feel) and give you the options of adjustability. Their only downside is the price... but as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for".

interesting. i think the tein s-techs have the most even drop possible (of strut/spring combos, not coilovers). i know eibach/trd springs ride high in the front, but your teins should have a nice rake to it.

did you get genuine s-techs?

wasent it determined that they dont make counterfeit Teins for the Solaras?

Maybe this is the first known case?

Then cut a coil off your springs if you like the bouncy bouncy bounce bounce bounce bounce.......

I have to say that I thought the same thing... Milt had JICs on his Solara and has KSports on his Camrys now... and both of those are super stiff...

I choose the Teins because they have a softer ride... mine are set all the way stiff and they are perfect. I have a feeling that if you got the Teins and set them to a lower stiffness you would love them.

No, its not..... HEATING THE COILS is the WORST... haha

i have cut intrax up front (w/ tokiko). rides fine. isn't it the struts that affect the bouncy bounce?

Yes, the strut affects that more than the spring does.

Milt, JIC Magic says this about FLT-A2 "For flexibility, the dampers have 15-way compression and rebound adjustability"
Is it still too stiff?
