Lightbulb Lowered Gen 5 Pics...Post them!

I am thinking about getting the H&R sport springs for my Gen 5 Camry. Does anyone have any pics of their lowered Gen 5? Give me details about your setup and how you like it as far as ride height, quality, etc.

My wife doesn't want me to lower the car, but I will take it to a shop one day and have it done without her knowing about it. I don't think she would notice, at least I hope she doesn't!

She didn't approve of my exhaust, but I got the mod bug biting again and I have to make it stop!!!:p

to tell you the truth...when I dropped my gen 5 with some tein springs and stock struts...it still basically rides the same...smooth...so go with it and btw if you're really interest I might sell my springs to you, trying to get rid of my old stuff so I can get bags

Thanks for the offer for the Teins, but I want something that will drop it a little bit more than stock. The 240SX on my sig has Tein springs/KYB AGX struts on it, and I picked it because it didn't drop it too much.

eibach springs

i have eibach pro springs on my gen5. 1.4 in the front and 1.2 in the back as the drop that is posted, but i had a 1.5 and a 1.3 front/back respectively when i measured.

the springs, camber kit and labor at schwabs was ~600 bucks. not too bad, since my buddy who has an 03 gen7 accord spent 500 with the camber kit. the kit for his car is like 400 bucks. damn hondas.

here are some pictures, but not any great ones:

it does drop it...same drop rate for all the other spings for the gen 5 too...eichbach, trd( rebatched eichach), and vogtland...1.4 in the front and 1.2 in the rear...but mine does look like it dropped more than that...heres a few pics...and its seems like its even lower now, then the pics...guess the spring got settled

kit

hey, i just looked at the pics for your body kit. is that the one that they offer on ebay all the time? how much did you spend on that, and did it come in white and you had to get it painted? how much was that? how was the kit installed? just a grip of question i guess.
