Hey everyone. I’m thinking about lowering my 2023 Camry on Eibach lowering springs (pro-kit). Any advice?

It's a Camry. It'll always be a Camry.
It's good at being a transportation appliance. That's it. You want to change that.

Why would you want to put lowering springs on a… Camry? Do you track the Camry or something? It will ride worse, it’s not a performance car, and most importantly you are voiding the warranty on a ton of components on your car.

I put Eibachs on a car of mine, these were their progressive rate springs, not their max lowering springs. It improved the balance of the car, but if there were 3 passengers you'd be into the stiffer section of the springs and it was pretty rough. Otherwise I was pretty happy with them.
Others make good points about warranties.

If it was my car I’d at least wait until you finish the factory warranty before your start modifying shit. You’ll regret it if you have a steering or suspension failure and they warranty reject it because of the aftermarket springs

Good point. It just looks too good with eibach springs haha. But it is a newer car and it’s safer to not mess with it while I’m still covered by warranty.

I have considered this, but with eibachs great reputation and them being installed by a professional, a major failure would be very very surprising.

I don’t think you are getting part of my point. It’s not the springs that may fail, it could be a Toyota part and they will not cover it under warranty because Toyota never engineered them to work with eibach parts

Yes I get your point, but I’ve also talked to people with eibach springs on, specifically my car, and I have yet to see one say anything about mechanical failures. Of course it could happen down the long run. But after reading all the responses, I think I will wait until the factory warranty is at least expired. Thanks!

This. Be prepared to have it ride worse and have your warranty basically voided. Fortunately it's one of the most reliable cars on the planet... But I still wouldn't do it.

Drove one with these springs, wouldn’t recommend. Does it look better? Yes. Does it ride better? Absolutely not. The best upgrade would be some tires that grip.

Not only are you going to make your car worse, you're going to do so during warranty in a way that will allow them to deny claims.
