Question Lowering a Gen3 Camry

I'm looking to lower my 95 Camry LE 2.2 I4, I would like about a 1.5" drop, but my problem is that I don't want it to be so that I have no wheel gap in the rear, and plenty of wheel gap in the front. I ran into this problem with DZ Sport springs. I hate the look of a reverse rake! I am currently looking at H&R, B+G, and Intrax springs. I really want nice stiff springs for handling. Please give any insight you may have. Oh and by the way, I can not afford coil overs, I can barely afford springs. Thanks.

I have Intrax, and the drop is good, pretty level looking too, it looks real mean. BUT it is way more than a 1.5" drop if that is what you're really looking for, I'm running 1.5fingers in the rear and 2 fingers in the front with the stock steelies. Intrax+tokico=much fun in corners For your drop I personally like H&R, but Eibachs are good too.

Thanks. I can deal with the drop you described, I actually like it., the 1.5" is negotiable. What year, model car do you have the Intrax on?

I'm happy with my HR sports, (the red ones), and KYB's ....I was advised to replace the strut mounts too..I'm glad I heeded that advise!

Trust me I REALLY want coil overs! The problem is that I am a poor college student that can barely afford Ramen noodles. It took me a year to save up enough for springs. Don't worry though, in a couple years after I get a degree and a good engineering job, this thing will have more done to it than just coil overs.
