H&R Springs PROBLEM for 2004 Camry?

Anyone else having the same problem as me?

I installed H&R springs for my 2004 Camry (i4). The Box says 2002, but i called H&R and they said its okay, it will work for the 2004 as well.

Well.. anyways.. they claim to drop 1.4(fr)/1.3(r). After I installed them, my car doesn't look lower at all! The back dropped maybe .5 inch! THATS ALL??

that would be because the H&R's are V6 only...

i just brought my ksport coilovers here http://www.tunerzimage.com/. it is 960 with tax for me and 120 for install and height adjustment. I just have to cough up the other half, then i am set haha cause I only paid them 50% so far. I plan to have it all done in 2 weeks i will post pics too.

coilovers isnt necessary better but yeah. they have their pros and cons. for sure CO will be harsher, but you can adjust the height and what not. as you probably know the camry is not no sport car, so coilovers isnt gonna make it into one. i am getting them because i like teh slammed look and my buddys got some wheels i could use to mess around on the tracks. I currently have the trd springs on my ride, its ok but i hate how it didnt get rid of the bigger gap in the front. stock the camry is higher in the front than rear. with teh trd springs it drop the rear a little lower than the front. i have like 1 finger in the back and 2 fingers in teh front. if you do by those CO, i recommend buying from tunerzimage, great customer service.

ksport is still kinda new, it had problems in the past, but it gotten better from what i have seen. I have a few buddies that have ksport co on their cars and they have no problems whatsoever with them. they also go to the tracks very often, so they push their cars to the limit. they all have had their co for more than 1 and a half.
i hope this helps

edit: also if you do decide to get them post pics and the model i got are ksport control pro

Are the 2004 Camrys different from the 2003??

on this eBay auction it says it for a 97-03 camry 4cyl. But I have a 2004, will it still work?
