3-4 inches easily.
The sig pic shows 4 in the rear and 2.5 in front, but I could have gone lower in the front and probably will do that and raise the rear an inch to clear the new exhaust pipe and muffler.

D2 is a good brand, infact they are the ONLY coilover setup made to my knowledge for a gen3 cam. They are adj as woody said anywhere from 3-4 inches. however if your gone go that low little FYI, definatly look into a camber kit

Yo why do you guys with coil overs make your rear sag more than the front? I HATE that about stock Camry's, I cannot freaking wait to have my H&R springs installed (not looking forward, however, to my shocks blowing out and spending more $).

I have the D2s on my 99 Solara and really don't like them. I ordered 13/11 spring rate setup. When they came in, there was nothing to identify that was in fact the spring rate that I got. I called the distributer and they couldn't tell me how I could tell what the rates were. They did look up my order and said the springs I ordered weren't available so they sent me 11/8. I still wanted to know how to tell if they were even 11/8 so the told me to measure the thickness of the spring. According to those measurements they were even less than I was told.

I went ahead and installed them. I got all kinds of popping noise from them. They were very good about replacing the struts. With the new struts, the noise was gone. After getting them all in and setup, I started to mess with the dampening adjustments. I started with the dampening all the way loose and the ride was terribly bouncy as expected. I adjusted it up half way and it was still terrible (no change). Then I adjusted it all the way to the stop, all the way tight and it was still REALLY bad, no difference. I called the distributer again and described the problem. He made it sound like I was being a pain. After discussing it, we decided he would send me the stock springs that come with the D2s. My thought there was the struts were not valved properly for the increased spring rate so they couldn't provide the necessary dampening.

I got the new springs in and the back springs were 2" shorter than the springs I was given the first time. I couldn't even get a straight answer as to which ones might be the right length. As a last ditch effort, I put the new springs on. I still have the dampening all the way tight and it is still bouncy. It is a little better than before but still terrible ride quality. This isn't a firm bounce discomfort, this is a up and down oscillating like a circus ride bounce. I hate it and will replace them with Tein or JIC after I recover from the first $1200 I spent... -JoeB
