Double-2 springs or TRD is fully crap — logbook Toyota Camry 2006
Under the merciless pressure of Uncle JDR for somewhere 15-20 thousand km. TRD springs were ordered in order to lower the car a little … since the bullied monster didn’t suit me much …
2 weeks of waiting... and beautiful red springs arrived :) JDR brought them directly to my house
the next day I put them on ...
according to their description on the off site:
TRD lowering springs lower the vehicle's center of gravity by 0.5 in front and 1.5 in rear, enhancing the vehicle's on-road performance through quicker turn-in, enhanced steering response and improved cornering ability. Featuring TRD's durable bold red powder coat for superior corrosion resistance, the lowering springs have been rigorously tested and engineered to ensure against rattles, clunking or rubbing even when pushed to the limit.
everything would be fine if it weren’t for the littered rear of the car… (not surprisingly 2 subwoofers in heavy boxes made with legs…) I didn’t even take pictures of the car at that time… someone had photos, but I don’t remember who.
it was terribly annoying, it didn’t look right, and besides, you can’t put anyone back, it immediately began to rub ...
the way out was still found …
standard shock absorbers and springs from the SE version of the Camry were installed back.
Yes, the car has leveled off and that's how it can be seen in the photos on the page, so it was before this winter :)))))…
the winter was wonderful and fun… a lot of our people
died :))) (look for winter in the BZ JDR a, Xima and others)
I am no exception, during the thaw, when the pits became puddles of God knows how deep, I naturally found a puddle that used to be was an open sewer hatch… e.nuls so that he already felt the movement of the left kidney inside himself, cursed and swam on.
at first, it was somehow strange to start to the left … well, I thought something with the steering … and already with the beginning of spring, when the puddles became pits again, I began to notice a creak in the left wheel. And since I was a weekend driver for 9 months, I didn’t pay much attention until this creak in the pits just got me out of it, and I didn’t jack up the wheel ... and what do I see there? .. yes ... Repin’s painting “Sailed ".
it's a shame ... but the vile JDR did not lose his vigilance, promoting the movement of Stance, inciting to cut the rest of the springs so that everything was on a par ... (well, it suits him quite well on 3 turns ... I'm not very :))
so, about a month after… transferred the money, ordered new Tein S-Tech springs… the seller assured that everything was in stock and already sent it… and after 2 weeks, a letter comes from the seller saying that our request is “Your springs will be manufactured at the end of July. " :) wonderful ... I'm happy, after another week the money was returned, I ordered H & R, it seems like it is in stock and everything is fine ... and yes, after 2 weeks the package arrives.
and a week later I signed up for the master ... and yet yesterday I finally put them on ... :))
this is what a normal right strut looks like
and this is not a normal left ...
and that's when we removed the spring from the shock absorbers, here it is...
like this for a second ... for comparison.
by the way, H&R has 1 less turn, and they are softer, and shorter, so far I like them more ...
Here's what the rear springs look like...
I'll post a view of the car on them later ... :)
Mileage: 60.000 km
Damn, how is that possible! Such a long and informative story, and no photos of cars! :(
In general, congratulations!
Let's take a photo of the car! In nature, some kind of crap. How is that possible?!
Of course, such a drop is better than nothing, but I don’t like the “face in the skyâ€. And most importantly, it is not yet clear what can be done with this ...
But for the desire is already respect! And then I completely got into a collective farm during these 9 months on the periphery :)
blyo… Some people here are 24k miles from Natalka, and they can't see the car ;) let's take some pictures!
you know, Eibach springs are excellent, it is unlikely that this will ever happen to them ...
Great blog, Yurchik! ;)
Actually, I bought that H&R is brighter, the spring principle is different, not the same as in Eibach and TRD! With the front, it’s clear, but with the rear, the coils are cut from above, and not from below, as in Eibach and TRD!
Well, I fixed my wobble problem by buying 6 meters of silicone hose in a radius of 16 mm and wrapped the front springs from start to finish! Nothing rattles and knocks now!
I think the H & R spring is more correct and such as happened with TRDs (cracked) and beats, as I will no longer have!
I think so too :))) Well, what answer did you expect? What do you think will happen if the spring breaks?
if it is possible to take ready-made springs with an underestimation, then it is better to take them, because if you cut the spring ... then at least its physics is violated, which in the future can adversely affect traffic safety ...
although on the other hand I have a lot of friends riding on a total of cut lowered springs and everything is fine.
I meant not to buy shortened ones, but to cut relatives? it's just that there are guys who say that everything is ok on a new chord and a lexus, but I heard that it's not worth it. can anyone have experience?
And if you put the springs on the drain without the weight of the norms, the ass and front will sit down? And how ammo they do not crumble?
Good day)
Camry ordered. I'll probably change the springs too. Hence the question is: will the suspension resource suffer greatly? = how much will the comfort drop on average and how much will the life of the amiks and other suspension arms decrease?
Understated, it looks, of course, many times prettier, but it’s not good to sacrifice the indestructibility of the Kamryukha suspension =) We have roads, like everywhere else, to put it mildly, feces ((
Please develop or confirm my speculation =)
no, I did not become a stool
below the drain by 3-4 cm.
Looks great with stock wheels...
Hey, how much below stock are these H&Rs?
on these springs, she did not become a stool?
Would it look bad with stock wheels?
I can’t find anything on eBay at all. Don’t have a link? You have a test car. I took it as a sample, I will do the same, only the color is ashy.)
Friend, where did you order such springs? They don’t sell racks for them right away?
