solara springs into an avalon

solara springs into an avalon

ok here's an interesting question:

i'll be getting the tein/tokico combo for my new solara. the stock springs and struts that i take out will have around 50-60k on them. we have a 95 toyota avalon with 150k right now, and im pretty sure the suspension is worn out, lots of bumpiness and thumps and what-not. so will the stock springs/struts from the solara fit the avalon? if i can get those installed on the avalon, that would be awesome and save my parents the cost of getting new suspension (the car will prolly only last another 50k anyhow). thanks in advance guys.

V6 and i4 are the same suspension, only the rear brakes on the two are different, so it should be no prob going into an avalon 97+, unless the 95-96 avalons utilize a different suspension from the 97+ I see no probs.

wut i was thinking would be a problem is different spring rates... he has a 4cyl.. and he's putting it on an avalon which is a lot heavier... ya know!? i'm not 100% sure tho.. i'm gonna look into it more tho
