lowering the ES... no luck
i've been on this issue for a while.. e-mailing major companies, calling them... etc.. about when they will make sprigns or coilovers for the ES... i know there's a guy in florida who already done it.. , but frankly.... its too risky for me... expensive, and its not that great of a warranty... well.. anyway... i did get some good insight from a worker at tanabe that i called not to long ago... he said if i can get a large number of people willing to purchase springs or coilovers, basically anything... the company would heavily consider it.
so here i am again asking you all to form together in this thread to see how many want to do this.....last time i tried to rally up my fellow ES modders, i only got myself... please dont leave me hanging....

i thought he is part of a private shop? so yea... since he's "working on a supercharger" i'd assume he's either doing this with a group of buddies.. or private/small shop

That dude in florida kboyj is full of crap cause i been trying to get in contact with him since day one n i haven't got a response..... If someone claims that they have something that other people want than they would bend over backwards to try n make money but thats not the case with him..... Me personally i think either he put those camry lowering springs on and jus did the necessary mods to make em fit or the dude jus simply cut the factory springs to which his ES is a total piece of garbage right now....... Chalk me up on the list n lets do this the right way ng123ray!!!!!!!!!

also tried getting some lip/body kits going on too... tried wald, tom's, fabulous, veilside, ... and more.

I shaved the CAMRY springs to fit the ES350, not the ones that were actually made for the ES. The only thing was that the camry springs made the car sit too low not compensating for the extra mass that the ES has over the camry.

I eventually had to take the camry ones off and prototype the new ones to fit my standards. If you guys are willing to do a buy-in with me for the $20 grand they want then PM me but otherwise I will just have to get every single spring custom ordered.
