Suspension
#1

I'm thinking of buying my wife a new car and keeping her old ES for myself. That would mean mods would be a'comin. The car rubs in the rear over bumps with people in the back seat with the 17's that are on it now. I don't usually ride people in my cars but you never know. My question is, is there a suspension set up out there for ES's? I prefer coilovers but would buy springs if that's the only thing available. Car is a 99 ES and I'd put no more than 18's on it.

18's would be perfect for the es with a nice drop
here is a link to a coilover option for your Es. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ghlight=ksport
hope to see it modded soon

LoL! I'm the opposite. Skip the eb's. They're not really a noticeable drop & don't handle much better than new OEM springs.
d2's are the most popular coilovers for the entire Camry platform.
They've gotteng reat reviews...

yeah the newer body styles might not have such an issue. but the 92-00 seem to always have that front gap. i chatted with juan before he parted out his es and he still wasnt able to get that gap mismatch to go away completely.
but hey i guess go with what you are comfortable with. the ksports work really well for me so im happy with the investment. just do independant research and check out reviews for different brands. I was not happy at all with all the reviews for d2. but hey to each their own. best of luck

McElligott did a good job with his gap. But the best I remember he cheated to do it LoL! EB's in the back to keep them higher, and Intrax on front for a big drop.
Good luck finding a pic with his 18's & snow tires that show it off isntead of those 25" slicks up front! hahahahahahaha
ahhhh gotta love it!

The d2's I have are 7kg f and 5 kg r which was the recommended spring rate for the Camry chassis but they are way too bouncy. I couldn't even drive in my area especially on side streets that had extensive pothole repairs, my car kept on popping everywhere it was quick embarrassing. I had my d2's on for like 2 weeks and could stand it but I am thinking of putting them on because my stock suspension needs replacing real bad.
I'm still waiting on d2 to see if they will send me replacement shocks, but I don't think that will happen. I’m just going to put them back on to motivate me to get a new suspension. I think I will go with the Tein ss spring for the solara and KYB struts, I love the way Hoebags ES stands looks plus I don't want a harsher ride that Tokico provides.
My 2 pesos.
