Stock & Slammed

[97dxswap]

Hey I'm new to the forum but have been driving my wife's camry for work since 2000. Its is 98 LE. I have owned honda civics and accords since 99 and always left my cars clean outside but lowered, I have not been able to find pics here of camrys with nice factory wheels that are lowered. I want to lower the camry and keep the stock 15" rims but want to see pics first.

Is this popular with camrys?


It is very popular with hondas because they look better low that stock.

The stock rims in my opinion are pretty ugly. Lowering your car is very popular for any type of car.

There are many options of springs. Check out the Camry FAQ.

Why is it peope don't do modifications for the right reasons....performance first, aesthetics second???

I guess that explains people cutting springs or only buying lowering springs with doing a full coil over. Explains the coffee can exhaust without better plumbing from the block out, or at the very least a cat back system with an improved intake system.

Just add stickers, right?

There are a lot of broke ass people. Lowering a car looks better than stock.....if you had to do one mod or only had cash for one mod. No body said rice. I like the cars clean.

This is a pic of whiterabbits car that i copyrighted to show you a clean car that is lowered with stock rims, and i found it in 2 seconds, your searching sucks lol.





Also mine is lowered on stock rims, stock rims for the gen 5 that is, and heres mine

Well maybe because people aren't out there to mod out their cars towards performance. Or maybe aesthetics is what people are going for...cuz i know i am, i mean camrys are not really a beast of a race machine

I guess the point I was making is it really bugs me when people make aesthetic mods that are counter productive on the performance side....like lowering springs without proper struts, etc...

You would be sacrificing performance (even from stock handling levels) to 'look good'

[Webb26]

AHH okay wireless...yea i totally understand. didn't know what you meant. well i too am looking for struts for my car....i hear the only available struts are kyb's and sensatracs which are all oem replacements...so that wouldn't work for lowering springs...

Suspension is a performance mod....

[Mayur]

Whoever thinks that suspension is not a performance mod is just a dumass. People lower their cars for better handling because there is a lower center of gravity. Some do it for looks and some do it to kill ugly wheel gap but for whatever reason they do it, it is still considered a performance mod.

^Way to be blunt.

[Mayur]

Straight up lol.

Ill agree with you and say that modifying the car in a way where it becomes dangerous and illegal and hinders the cars standard abilities is a bit stupid yes. Becuase your taking the car out of factory spec and stuffing things to "look good". What i don't agree with is the performance comes before visual thing. I personally started doing visual things to my car when i first got it. I didn't have the knowledge to do motor rebuilds and transmission conversions...and nor the money. I could however do things like simple lowering (with proper lowering springs), tint, wheels etc etc. Some people don't want or need to have a car that puts down 200+kw...nor do they want to break the speed limits. Cruising around nice and steady in a car that you have tastefully modified is fine i think. Why would you choose a Camry to modify if your goal was all out performance from the word go? There are a hundred other cars out there with twice the power that would be a better option in that case. The problem is nowadays, people are so up themselves that they put down other peoples car because, they added a sticker here or there before they put there 200kw turbo engine in.....how bout if people could respect other's (within reason) modifications and all be happy. Not, you added a sticker or some lowered springs on a stock car..so thus your a ricer and an idiot and deserve to die !.... Rant over....my $1 worth...
