2nd Generation lowering springs...not low enough.

After I installed my intrax springs for my 91 DX, the front lowered decently but the rear is still jacked up. I know I have 4 banger springs but im not happy with the height. How else can I lower my camry, air shocks? I just want the car to be low and not so damn high up in the air. I have 205 40 17 rims and tires btw.

The Intrax springs are known to do that. Either get a nice big sub for the back (this evens it out) or try cutting one coil of the bottom of the spring.

I know how you feel man. With Dropzones on gen 3's it's reversed, it's higher in the front...sux. Coilovers are your only safe option.

I'll probably be snipping a coil front and back on my wagon. It too has Intrax springs. But, being a wagon with a sub setup there's more than enough weight to even it out. Keep in mind however, if you do cut a coil and you have passengers in the back, the car will almost look comical. Ever see a stock sedan with blown shocks, fully loaded with people? Hah, you get my drift.

Ksport will give you an uneven drop too. The front is higher than the rear.
