Thanks for posting the pics. Your car looks good, and now I can rule out B+G springs for the wife's wagon. If I lowered that much she'd beat me to death.

I also want feedback on ride and handling. Did you cut your bumpstops to accomodate the low stance?

2nd Generation heh

thanks for all the comments. no i didnt have to mod anything. pretty much take old springs off, put new on. but you still have to compress the new ones. also ive noticed that the front is a little lower. but that might be because the front struts are gone. gonna get blues soon .

actually i was thinking more along the lines of 16s. oo by the way, doesnt anyone know the measurements of the rims? i know its 5x100 but i dont know what the offset is.

the paint is just good, thats what the bumper is shiny. also i just washed her

the ride is pretty good. way better than cut springs :P and much improvent over stock. but i think once i change the front struts the ride will increase by alot more. i was also thinking of the whiteline rsb. but thats gonna be a little bit. i just bought 4 new tires.

oo heres a question. has anyone replaced there bushing on this camry? know anywhere to get the urethane ones from? cause the ones on the front are gone pretty much. thanks in adv

Good

I like the drop, now all you need is rims, remove all those emblems including the turbo emblem on the front grill if you're not turbo'd (looking at those wheels I'd say not), lose those antenna characters, remove those mudflaps and eventually color match your side moldings. Jon.
