Don’t know much about the 05 but is the camry/solara chassis the same as the es that year? If so, you get more spring options.....

If it fits an 05 camry V6 or Solara V6 it will fit your car.

Intrax has springs for the 03-04 V6 camry but Im almost sure they will fit your car. Ask around and see if there were any changes to your suspension from 04-05.

I just put on a set of Tanabe NF210 springs about a month ago. These springs feel just like stock except on cornering. There's a lot less body roll around the corners even with stock struts. From my own personal experience I've learn to buy parts that were specifically made for your specific car ex. ES 300/Camry and Acura CL/Honda Accord. Lots of people say you can use Camry springs/parts for an ES 300 but to me, springs that were made specifically for the the ES feel much smoother and yet tighter at the same time versus Camry springs. I don't know how to set pics up on the forums so if you would like a few before and after shots of my car, just send me your email addie.

Btw.... PlatES300 has a set of Df210s on his 2000 ES. He seems to like his ride also....

im planning to go with something that was made for the ES and has been road tested by an ES. what year is your ES? seems like there is no one with a lowered 4th gen. nvm the nf210 is exactly what i was thinking about getting, and i see that you have a 02. do you have pics or anything? im really interested in seeing how low it goes, i don't want to lower it by much.
