Default Lowering springs definitive answer on which year Camry

Since we bought the car I have been researching which year Camry springs work on the current gen ES. I have read 07-11 or 12-14. I have also read about certain years having springs wound opposite directions etc.

Anyone care to share exactly what year Camry works?

Thanks

Eibach springs for the 12-13 camry works perfect, I'm going coilovers soon so I'll sell you my springs if you want, been on the car for about 8 months .
Also for coilovers BC racing r-23 and D2 coilovers D2-D-TO-16-1 work for our cars

I recently started a thread on this because of the hell I went through to find the right set. "Lowering my "14 ES 350" '12-'14 camry fits the '13-'15 ES 350. It most likely fits all the way up to '17, but I can not confirm exactly. On our cars the front springs are wound in opposite directions. I got a set of H&R. 1.4" drop. I have a set of 20" wheels that will be here in a couple days. I chose 235/35/20 and 245/35/20 just in case the wider tires rub a bit. Will post updates soon as wheels are installed.

how is the ride quality on the eibachs? The H&R set I have now is stiffer then I had hoped. I had a set of Tanabe NF210 on my other Lexus and the ride was smooth as butter. Couldn't tell it apart from factory other then the lower stance. May either custom order a soft set up, coilovers set or go air suspension....

IMO it was soft, too soft. Reason why I went to coilovers to stiffen it up to run wider wheels without having to worried about wheel travel up into the wheel well destroying my quarter panels

wow, that's very good to know. That's what I wanted, a ride just a little sportier then stock, but still comfortable. These h&r's imo feel too stiff. Worried cuz my tires aspect ratio 35 and afraid of damaging my new wheels. Would love to try that set of eibachs on. This would be my 3rd time pulling all the struts off if I decide to. If I don't like the ride after the wheels go on, I'm definitely doing something about it, even if it means putting a 3rd set of springs on.... 🙄

if no one else claims them, I'd like to buy those Eibachs from you. How much of a drop did the finally set to? Would you say 1.4" all around? I would really like to have that soft ride again... please keep me in the loop on your plans. I'd appreciate it.
