Unhappy Need Someone to tell me about lowering springs and Mount? Please!

I just bought a camry- 94'. Now i decided to lower my camry. My tires' size is 225/50/R16. I'm not sure how many inches i need to lower? I surfed thru many websites. All the of them recommend me for Eibach but i'm worrying the wheel gap will be too "big", coz "E" just lower around 1-1.2". Is that ok? Or what about 1.8" for Intrax?


And one more thing, how many engine mounts are ther under the hood?

Unless you are looking to build a honda civic you don't need more than the eibach drop. Not sure how much it actually drops, but it should be around 1.5". Either way that is just enough to make a clean look, but not to much to give that SLAMMED rice boy look. Its amazing how much difference an inch will make

Give shox.com a call before you order them and mention that your forum was one that was involved in the solara group buy. I'm sure they will help you on the price, they were very helpful with me. If not I'll give them a call for you and we could always setup another group buy
