so today looking around on craigslist. i found someone selling a set of Tein lowering springs for my year camry. he said theyre in good condition and for 75 bucks i cant really go wrong, considering they retail for 300+ online. now the question is, how hard is it going to be to do this? i know ill need spring compressors (prob 2 of them so it makes it safer) but is it something i can do myself? and if anyone on here has done it, would you be willing to help me out on this?

There are so many Tein knock offs on ebay and craigslist, make sure you check the number on them personally.

+1



And homo I did my car. It's not hard at all. Go to advanced and rent the compressors.

yeah i know there are a ton of knockoffs. he gave me the model number. and sent pics of the box/springs with the model number on those too

and do they match up? lol

something you maybe wanna help me with neil? this is one thing on cars ive never done and id rather not fuck it up



yeah the model number he gave me, the box, and all 4 springs are the same

Yea I can give you a hand buddy.


hopefully my hands wont rot off from working on a yota

if i didnt go blind from looking at your max then you should be fine lol

and technically asshole you drive toyotas at the lot and youre still alive so shut your face hahaha

touche'

if you dont want to take on the task of doing it yourself i install lowering kits at my shop in plympton

how much would that be?

i did my maxima...i just replaced everything while i had them off...ill help ya if u want, maxima guys helping out yotas

id appreciate it brad. its all for the same cause. gettin ready for CFK.

also came across a nice set of 19" gunmetals with 50% tire for 450 and a header back exhaust kit for 250

i love the rims for some reason

when your ready to do this let me know so I can see what's up with my schedule.

also remember get an alignment when your done but you should already know that. lol

yeah im gonna get an alignment after i put on the rims so it can all be done at once

Thats a deal for those wheels IIRC they arent cheap

If I may suggest something. Please upgrade your struts when you lower it. The OEM struts aren't valved correctly for the lowering springs and as a result you will blow those struts sooner rather than later.

Bring the car here I'll put them in for 50 bux.

struts were upgraded/replaced at 50k so theyre fine. and josh that would prob work for me

what kind of struts?

i can help to asswipe i did my eclipse and am just too frustrated with my max to do it on there

and when am i doing that back window?? i am free sat morning

I can do the max too, just helped neil a lot with his... be prepared to buy new bolts/nuts on the rear shocks..

i am prepared to drive it off a fucking cliff!

ed, they were a TRD replacement/upgrade.

mark, im workin at like one on sat so thats outta the question. im usually working doubles fri, sat, and sun

we can attempt 1st thing in am

yeah that could work. honestly right now i just need the two back passenger windows done. then we can worry about the back window

i am by no means perfect and will give it my best shot so we can look thru what i have for film and match as best we can just so you know it wount be perfect

i can pick up a roll of the same brand i used for my fronts if that helps.

that it does!

kellz go to chat!
