TRD Springs Sol Vs Cam

I was saying The spring rates may be diff. cuz they're diff cars.. I'm sure as hell they fit.. but just cuz civic lowering springs can fit on your escalade don't mean you put them on there. I know I'm overexagerating... but you get my point.
The springs for the camry on the camry have the car lowered slightly diff. than the springs for the solara on the camry

hmmm... I thought that trd solara springs drop a little more in the rear... if I remember correctly the front drops 1.25 and the rear drops 1.75.
As for the trd camry springs it drops 1.2 inches all around.

And didn't they redo the eibach springs so that its 1.6 drop all around?

ok ok ... 1.2- 1.7

does it matter that much ?

that's not even the rest of it... factor in "settling."

You know your actually driving a "Toyota Camry Solara" right?

Its the same car, except number of doors and styling...and its two years behind its 4 door sibling in generations. Mechanically, Gen1-1.5 (99-03) solara is the same as the Gen4 Camry (97-01) and the Gen2 Solara (04+) is the same as the Gen5 Camry (02+).

And I'm pretty sure Civic springs wont fit on an Escalade. :D But a Civic sedan's springs should fit on the same generation Civic coupe.

They are the same, the drop on the Solara IS lower. I have had both. I would personally go with the Sol springs on the Camry. Jon.
