3rd Generation 4-inch lowering coils...?

A friend of mine is willing to sell me coils that will lower my camry 4 inches. I've never ridden in/driven/worked on a lowered car.
What are you alls thoughts? Should I do it? Or would it look like absolute shit and be touching the ground?

I honestly have no idea what they are. The kid just told me he had coils that would lower it 4 inches. He's probably full of bullshit, though.

they must be coilovers(otherwise that has to be bs) and lowering 4in requires A LOT of modifications because the lower you go the more maintnance it requires

I really, really, really doubt they are coilovers. He was going to give them to me for $50. So he must be full of shit.

What car are they coming off of? Any more details? $50 seems reasonable for a used set of springs, but not for CO's.

I have no details farther than that. I haven't asked him about it more than a price. I wanted to check to see if it was worth it or not before I got too dedicated to the idea.

DONT do it. 4 inches and you WILL be dragging the frame over slight inclines and large bugs.
