Old member, need new advice!!!

Hey guy's...I've been a member here for a little while ...I've owned a few 4th gen Celica's and now I've come into possesion of a 94 camry LE V6...



Couple questions...

Lowering springs, any good brand's that aren't gonna break the bank??

Lip kits, I know lexus's of the same year's have these fancy lips on them, can I just grab some from the wrecker's and modify to fit or does a company make them out there that you know of?

I'd like to get it to this by the spring time...



Thanks for any replies!

nice toy.. springs itself isn't expensive at all- its the struts/mounts that'll get your wallet but if you're just looking for some springs- s-techs would be around 130ish range.

as far as lip kits, its always better to be different so if you have a skill in autobody work and you have the gift to separate rice from hot - go for it. There was a post where the camrys were using the lower part of the bumper as a lip kit. Yepp! chopped it off another Camry front end and used it as a lip. Good Luck!

The car's gettin tinted this friday...16% on the side's and 10% on the back...

It's already lettered up for my business...which is paintless dent removal... It's not tacky however and it's a nice logo so it looks alright... I get a lot of advertising this way since I service dealership's... a lot of people come up and talk to me....

So to answer my one question, will the lexus bumper's / lip's fit on the camry's of the same year? Pretty much everything else is the same so I'd think so...

i would recommend Eibach Pro springs for a moderate 1.5" drop ... or something like Sprint springs for a complete drop

however, lowering springs on stock struts is not recommended, and you might find yourself having to replace the struts in the near future which will double your cost ... so most people go ahead and get KYB GR-2 struts or Tokico HP struts to go with the drop

I'll prolly go with the intrax....they have a 1.6 in the front and 1.5 in the rear, and my front end sits higher than the rear right now and I don't like it at all!

Thanks for the link but I was lookin for just a lip kit, not changing the whole bumper, and those side skirt's are a little too flashy for my taste.... Thanks though!

the first two are lip kits. but i agree the sideskirts are not to my liking, that as good as ur gonna find without custom built or a pieced together kit. factoy es300's dont have lip kits.

here are lexus lip kits but they wont fit on the camry without some modification:

http://www.l-tunedparts.com/model/st...id=3&cat_id=12

for lowereing springs id go with ssomthing liek eibachs or H&Rs unless u plan on goin with performance shocks as well then u can go for somthing the will lower it more but is not as stiff.
