You wont be happy with the eibach 1" all around. I have eibach 1" in the rear and H&R 1.6" in the front to even out the wheel gap.

Eibach & Intrax are the only ones I would recommend for the 92-96. Keep in mind the VCV10 and MCV10 versions from the Camry are direct/interchangeable components.

H&R drops 1.3" or 1.4" Intrax is 1.6" and so is B&G....

Intrax is good, I have them.

When using stock wheels, the ride is very similar to stock, but stock ride is a tad bit better... That ride quality dips even more once you switch over to bigger rims.

As for the Tokicos, I don't think changing out the shocks makes the ride lower... The lowering springs do that.

If you have troubles finding the springs, check out http://www.tmengineering.net/. They are a ClubLexus vendor that is based out of Cali. Maybe you can go pick them up.

Good luck on the modding, be sure to post up pics and stuff when you are done.

Yeah, I think 250 is around the price I paid for.
As for the struts, you can look for 92-96 V6 Camry... most of the time sellers acknowledge that they will fit the ES also...
