hey, i got these springs last week. i havnt driven the car to much since then but when i did drive it, it felt a fair bit siffer and a bit lower. however from memory king springs makes the springs for toyota so it would be cheaper getting the king springs for the camry(unless you get a discount).
i'd say its worth it though, it seemd to reduce body role and wheel spin, also it gave more feeling around corners.

thats just my opinion.

By how many inches does it drop the car?

damo · 08-04-2004, 04:06 AM

i'm not really sure how much it droped the car, i think it was about 15-20mm or something. but i got the gen5 springs on my gen4 so it would probaly be diffrent as my car is lighter.
edit:oh and i did measure it, i just forget how much it was.

Anyways i have just installed these sportivo springs.
Look wise, it has been lowered a lil.
Jut got 2 wait a few wks for it 2 settle in and mayb i can scab couple more mm's out of it.
other than ride, feels more responsive around corners.
Its great just look wise i wouldve want it 2 lower it a lil more.
