2002 ES300 Springs

[McBrian]

Not the best way to start out meeting anyone who is still around, but I need some spring help with a restoration project on my 2002 ES300.

Was lucky enough to find a elderly-owned 300 which *just* turned 180k (with a fresh TB/WP job!) and is in pretty exceptional condition for it's age. (pics will come soon)

In going through replacing all of the crusty rubber I put on quick struts and am in the process of learning THAT lesson... 'Course I scrapped the original springs so that's where we begin.

I'd like to find a NOS set of H&Rs or some other supplier for a set to build the KYBs I should have in the beginning. Thankfully its just a bunch of annoying noise, but she is sooooo smooth and worth it compared to new *BLEEP*...

 

So my question:  Does ANYONE have any old part #s for H&R kits (Sports) for this era ES/Camry? Any JDM recommended parts sites that might be a source?

Good to meet whomever is left here.

Luckily found a fresh wreck on ebay being parted out. Before pics show same sag on the rear so a new set of KYB everything will probably do just fine. Front sag with the s h i t t y quick strut springs should be fine with all of the other new parts. Only has one side for the fronts available... damn, but as time goes on the Lexus-only parts for this year and model are getting harder to find.

Damn cars just don't go to the scrap yards (not a bad thing) and I am NOT paying dealership prices if I don't have to.
