I've got a gen3 i4 on Vogtlands.
They're a dream. Great ride. Could stand to be a little stiffer for my taste but hey I also drive a 76 vette with a fiberglass mono leaf in the rear so comfort isn't an issue with me. Tho on the camry you feel as if you're on slightly firmer stock springs with solid aftermarket struts until you throw it into a turn, then its rock solid! They're made of a newer metal so they won't sag over time either and they're designed for sound systems... meaning they are a tad higher in the rear so when you put your subs in it won't look all saggy.

btw- they're not a 1.5" drop, its more like 1.7" and they only make one type for camrys, so you'll need to chop 1 full coil off for the i4.

I did it using a dremel tool with a high speed woven cutting disc for metal.

The large fiberglass or kevlar woven ones work the best. I measured from the top where the spring seems to be cut already (NOT the tightly wound end where the last coil is milled horizontally flat) and went straight down. One full coil. Of course i went 1/4 coil by 1/4 coil reinstalling them each time to get it correct.
You'll prolly want to get a camber kit too.
