SLAMMED! (The way it should have been to begin with)

Did you buy a set of Intrax lowering spring for your Gen3 I4 Camry that were actually made for a Gen4 V6 Camry, just because they were dirt cheap?

Were you ridiculously dissatisfied with the front wheel well gap?

Well here's your solution: cut the front springs!

Before:



During:




After:




Fashooo

Big ups to my buddy Tim from Davis Motorsports Club for all his help!

Please note that these are AFTERMARKET springs. We do not recommend cutting stock springs!

[quangtran89]

After installing the Intrax lowering spring the first time, how much more did it go down after a week or so. Or did it just stay at the same height after you changed the springs?

I think I may have to cut the front spring as well, or just get more meat on my tires.

I've been riding on my Tokico/Intrax setup since July 2008, and while the car had dropped about an inch from stock after the install, it just wasn't doing it for me, heh. The ride height stayed about the same up to now, so I decided I might as well go ahead and cut them down.

lol, i rushed to this thread thinking you got coilovers man....

anyways, do you have the shot of the entire car with the rear showing as well? that would be cool to see how the entire car looks with the drop

[Spitfire]

bump to see full shot with new look

[quangtran89]

I really like how much it dropped after cutting it.

[N35QU!K]

Sorry guys, it's gonna have to wait til tomorrow, its already dark out.

Tomorrow for sure though!

Nestor, if you think that is Dump, check out mines when i cut too much off, it was 1 inch off the ground. the tire size is 205 40 17


And this is cut on 98 camry 4cyl springs with tire size 205 45 17. i have atleast nearly 2 inch or less on the ride height now. i prefer cuttin 98 camry springs. reason why is its not as bouncy as any other spring that i cut before.

[Jimnist]

Holy bejezus! Sooo sketchy cutting springs like that....and illegal(in my state and country).

Does give it a good drop though xD

[t3chnique]

To the OP, how far down you think the front is now from stock? 2"? 2.5"?

[N35QU!K]

Here's how it was when it was stock and the rims were fresh:

And now:

[TheKevin]

not really slammed but it def looks better.

['_']

Yeah it looks better, but how's the ride quality and handling? Harsher and stiffer? And these are progessive springs right?

[bigbird]

thats what i wanted to know. cutting progressive springs is a big no no. i cant hate on the look but you could have sold thoes and gotten some tein S techs for 200 on ebay. cutting pretty is gehtto....BUT it looks pretty good man.

cutting stock springs? do you have upgraded shocks? it does look good though

(please, no one consider doing this...not smart. nothing good has EVER come from screwing with OEM suspension).

Or you could just install H&R sport springs
