No one makes 2 inch drops for Gen 2

[mk2-1jz]

I've got a Gen 2 camry (1988) with the 3s-fe and I have a very frustrating problem. I'm looking to lower my camry 2 inches, but there are no kits available to make this come true. I've only been able to find Intrax who makes a kit, and its only a 1.5 inch drop. I find that dropping a car 1.5 inches won't give me the look im going for. I'm assuming that no one has been able to do a sucessful 2 inch drop? I've been thinking about what i could do but I need some opinions, from what I've figured out its possible to use other toyota springs from another cars (most likely celicas, but the same problem exists with only having a 1.5 Inch drop) I figure I could use other springs as long as they fit on my camry seeing as they are very close in diameter. Is this possible? If not what can I do for the most drop? If anyone has sucessfully droped a gen 2 camry, could you hook me up with some pictures.

thanks a lot

i don't know what you're going for but you can always cut the springs

How low do you want it? Are you willing to ride on the bump-stops or inner-fenders (in the front)?

This is what the Intrax springs look like:


The front of my car is heavier (so subtract maybe 1/2" and the rears are cut one coil)

Yeah, I'm near LA. Smog is handles with a wink, a nod and a lot of $$$. There are a few vids in other threads - search my name and look in the threads about drag racing.

ST205 motor + transmission (converted to 2WD with MR2 parts). The harness was a pain but doable (I'm an electrical engineer though!) and I did almost all the work myself in my garage. I had a professional install the Kaaz LSD in the transmission (during the FWD conversion) and had a shop do the welding on the rear motor-mount modifications.
