I just made a strange discovery today. I was in the process of adjusting my e-brake when i discovered the springs on my car were made by eibach. It was very shocking to me because i've been driving it for two years w/o knowing the previous owner put in drop springs. That's probably why my car rides so damn rough over potholes. But honestly i couldn't tell the car was dropped all this time because the drop was so moderate. I believe it's 1" front and back.



As for the struts, i have no idea what they're made by but they're black and where the label/markings used to be is now covered by rust. I have a reason to believe that they're not the factory struts that came on the car because i took a good look at it and it looks like the struts are sealed and non-serviceable. From what i recall, 93 es300/camry came with serviceable struts from the factory.

Does anyone got a picture of their ES300 with stock springs and IS300 rims?
I want to see if there are any difference this 1" drop actually makes in pictures!

 

damm front of ur house looks so famillar.
do you live in bayside ny?

 

yeah i'm around bayside/little neck area

 

geez... nice haha. Wish my car came with Eibach springs lol. If you just look at a pic of a regular ES u can tell the difference, well I can. Nice pic tho =)

 

lol, you lucky SOB, I'm jealous

 

Nice find.

 

wow wow wow!!! lol love ettt!

 

Yeah, you car definetly looks lower...I thought at first that you upgraded your sway bars and that lowered it But, yeah, Looks lower than mine with the is rims on it.

 

Never noticed it before but yea it is dropped maybe thats why the is300 rims look so good on your lex.

 

Talk about luck...

Anyone wanna donate eibachs to this es???

 

Actually yeah your car always has looked a little lower than normal. You should go out and find a stock ES and take some pics side by side for a comparison.

 

So does that make it a "free mod" ?

 

thanks for the comments guys. I'm not sure if i really like the eibach springs tho. I want more of a drop and less harsh ride. I wish i had some H&Rs. Well i'm gonna change out the strut mounts and sway bar links to see if it helps with ride quality

 

BTW Maniax, I was at autozone the other day, and i saw a can of duplicolor called 'black onyx' spray paint for toyota's..
I think thats what was used on Black es's, but haha would look a lot better than vapor blue

 

Thanks for the heads up. I think ima try that when i have time
