Gen5 some upgrades

well i recently install some teins springs for lowerd look like 3months ago
not being satisfied (front looks higher than back(in my sig)) might upgrade for some coil set.i would love to lowerd it down to be even from front to back or even lowered more to front than back..

i saw a guy selling some ground control coil set

is the ground control coil set easy as springs to install??

calling it "slammed" lowest i can go..is it really bad for my FWD cam to be lowered the way i want it to look like..??

any suggestions or comments?

I know the guy selling the ground controls, but they're listed for the gen4/4.5 camry. I don't think they would work on the gen5. Ground controls will allow you to slam the car, but you won't have the full adjustability like you would on a full coilover set. That's pretty much why I haven't picked them up; and why I'm still considering a set of coilovers. Unless you have really good struts to go with the ground controls, the performance won't be good at all and it would likely blow the struts pretty quickly. The slammed look is nice, but then you sacrifice handling. Basically I think you should just save up for a set of decently priced used coilovers. They won't be too much more considering the price for the ground controls and high performance struts (not sure if any would be good with that setup).
