Lowering the Camry need some advice!

Hey everyone I have a gen3 1993 V6 camry with the 3vz. I was planning on lowering the ride, but only doing the front since my backend sits pretty low already because my audio system in the back. Do you think it'd just be possible to lower the front should that be an option that shouldn't be chosen? I wanna get a little lower stance in the front, and i realize I'll have to buy 4 lowering springs anyways, but I'd just use the front. Any suggestions?

It depends on the drop that the lowering spring is designed for.

I've known people who have used lowering springs in the front and left the back alone.

The thing is that is you use front springs from a lowering set that provides a 2" drop, it might seem too low in the front; thus making the rear look a bit too high.

I would suggest a lowering set of 4 that drops no more than 1 1/2 inches if you're considering using only the front lowering springs. Also keep in mind that rear springs from a lowering set are more stiff than a factory set.

With that being said, using the lowering set in the front and rear would even the car out better and still support the weight of your system. The springs are made to lower the car, but yet support the load range it's designed for.

Vogtlands are designed to keep an even drop with the weight of subs in the trunk.
