Suspension lift, or how to lift camry.

[molson.david]

Hello guys.
I would love to lift my car a little, ¾ to 1 inch. I looked on e-bay, google and TN for any treads about lifting, but found none, most guys want to lower their cars, so all treads about lowering.
There is couple companies overseas, which make and sell polyurethane and metal inserts which going in between shock mount and body. Using them you can lift car up to 1.5”.
Everything looks pretty easy: install inserts and adjust alignment and you got Camry Outback.
Have anyone seen anything like that here in US?

Lift?

Can coilovers lift a car if set to max height?

Well I have polyurethane cushions that goes between the springs coils, that can lift a car depending on where you put it, that's why my ass don't sag.

no, I'm talking about inserts-bushings-plates, don't know how to call them properly, which going in between shock mount and body. basically you extending shock mounts and need longer bolts to run them through the mounts, inserts and body.

Easy way to lift is go with a bigger sidewall tire and bigger rims.

But stock Camry already sits incredibly high, if you lift it and expect it do things off road, you might damage some of the more low hanging parts.

When I first installed my coilovers, I set them at the same height without any weight as my stock set up. Unfortunately, I forgot that stocks compress a lot with weight and coils generally stay the same. So if you are looking for a very versatile way of lifting your Camry and then some(aka lowering later), get coils. I somehow had the height of my Camry at the same height as my RX330's viewing position. Lots of funny stares during the test drive since I had double the stock wheel gap

This sounds ridiculous. Sounds like this car's gonna end up lookin like the ghetto caprices with rims that are too big for a hummer.

I wish to have your ride softness and quietness…
Do you have a spare wheel?
Just in case, when you hit pot hole or something, you will need it…
Good luck.
