Update: Your springs arrived on my doorstep today and I immediately installed them when I got home from work. I just finished about 10 minutes ago and the result is great! The car sits perfectly even now, and the rear is quite a bit lower than before. There's only one thing I'm worried about now; what if when I install my new shocks, it makes the car sit unevenly again?

Hey AlphaOnion

I do not think your shocks will make a difference with your car sitting unevenly.

Glad to help =)

It is the springs afterall that are supporting your cars weight. The strut damper is just there to control the oscillation generated by the spring when you go over a bump, i.e. blown shock = bouncy ride.

Honestly I would, but you have the 3VZ-FE engine so I don't think mine would fit you. But, I do have a "prototype" front lip that I've been working on. I might think about sending you one of those.

Haha true, forgot about that. I guess I could make another one, although I'm not sure how I can measure the top edge so that it sits flush against the underside of the hood. The Avalon has a different hood shape than the 2ES. Other than that I can give it a shot.

Make a carbon copy of yours. I'll do the rest.
