H&R springs anyone?
Hi guys!
Recently I found a really good deal on a set of H&R springs for 2007 ~ 2010 Toyota Camry V6 and I'm really tempted. I've been thinking about lowering my car after I got my 18x8 wheels for my ES and I just can't stand the big gaps that make my car look like an SUV. I'm just wondering if anyone has H&R springs on their ES? I'm planning to keep my OEM struts, am I going to have the "bottom out" problem? Any feedback would be really appreciated! Thank you!

If you're going to
The problem that you'll run into running springs is:
1, The struts are not valved for the stiffer springs you are putting on.
2. Shorter springs will decrease the life of your stock struts so they'll blow a year or two down the line.
3. Ride quality will decrease because of #1 and increased spring rates.
Also remember that the install of coils vs springs are going to be essentially the same.
It is smarter to replace both struts and the springs or go with coilovers rather than just springs. You will be replacing the struts down the line anyways.
If the springs youre buying are for the camry make sure its the v6 xle/se as the they weigh 3516/3483 vs 3580 of the ES350.
