I can get sprint lowering springs that lower 1.8" for $200 shipped, does that sound like a good deal? Or should I buy ksport springs that lower for $100 that lower 2", And should I pay someone to install them or could I do it myself?

Just to tell you the k-sport springs drop the car alot more on the back then the front so to me it looks retarded a bit and I would assume it would sag in time. For $200 I rather spend it on a better brand like intrax if your so worry about dropping it low. Intrax don't come close to eibachs or H&R's or even Tein but i believe it's better than sprints.

The Ksports said 2" in front and back, are you saying they don't actuality do 2 even?

It won't always be exactly 2 inches all around. And after time, the springs will probably start to sag. But I would do what other guys said, get some quality springs if you're wanting to spend that much.

It's up to you. I got my Eibachs a while ago and I'm happy with them. I think they were a little over $200. But if you're looking for bigger drop for less money, I guess these should suffice.

I don't think Eibachs drop as much as I want. I can check again though.

Has anyone actually ridden in a car lowered by H&R, Eibach, and Intrax? Or do we just assume because it's not Eibach or H&R that it's inferior? I love the perfect drop I get with intrax and the ride is awesome.
Look intrax gives a more drop but at that lowered drop it's actually softer than the H&R which don't drop it as much. The lower you go the more stiffer your springs need to be but the intrax is softer than the H&R but it is lower. I've ridden on both H&R and intrax with tokicos and personally it wasn't that big of deal but the camry with the intrax was bouncy on some parts of the road but the intrax did drop it lower than the H&R.
I don't know about eibach but even so it says it on the their website, intrax- while others go for the more racy "stiffer" springs ours are for the daily drivers "softer" who want a good looking drop but they don't mention to the consumer that at a lower drop you need to stiffen up the springs to keep it from bottoming out!!!
It should be stiffer than the H&R at the drop they have it at but they aren't even as stiff as the H&R and those are of a less of drop.
I'll tell you guys how a tein s-tech springs from a solara drop the 4 banger camry and how it rides since I don't want to ride my coilovers in the winter.
Miltdoggie tried it on a V6 camry and it dropped it lovely but it's for sure that it won't give the same look on a 4banger camry but maybe it will look better than even the intrax who knows. I'll have it on 2 weeks from now or so.
