guys do any of u know how to make the spring of my camry shorter? The safest way and also beside cutting it. I have use low king spring and i am still not satisfied with the result. Here is the link to my camry. thanks
That's all ready as low, if not lower than most other peoples.
You don't have a safe way left, besides coilovers, or trying some coilover sleeves (which ride too hard for a daily driver).

go to a spring shop and get them to recompress the spring.
whatever they take off in height remember that it will get a bit stiffer, so compress a tad more then how much lower you want your car.
im getting my rear springs recompressed -- about $60/pair.

thank you guys for your comment, is just that the back and the front wheels need another 2 inch drops and it would be just nice, actually the back is already short but the front looks weird ueuheuheuh...............i actually have seen something like a SPRING CLIP........it is clipping the spring until it gives 2-3 inch drops but then i am just worried it might not be safe well anyway i am going to research it again, if there is no other chance, i might just go to the spring shop and recompress the spring. Actually coilovers is much expensive, i have search that it cost $2500 bucks new, since there are no used coilover for camry ...well anyhow thanks guys for the comment
O yeah another thing, the big black thing is the hole for gas, because i have petrol and gas in my car so it is bit cheaper. I am going to spray the gas hole to silver make it looks nicer and also the grill...........
your problem would be solved with new tires. lower springs wont do anything. it is already really low.
you need to trade those 35 sidewall tires in for some 40's or 45's. the 45's might rub in the rear, so you will have to roll your fenders if you go that way... BUT i think that is the look you are going for anyways, so i say do that.
youre in AUSTRALIA -- theres shit loads of spring shops (yellow pages) just get them to re compress the springs.
its the same way all those wheel shops drop ya car "any" height

springs can be re heated and re compressed by a spring factory for quite cheap, it takes about 1/2 day wait, or the place here takes ya car for the whole day if they do the labour too.
car comes back at the EXACT height you want it
tehre are lots of wheel shops that advertise "lower your car any height, from $350" they do the same deal. sports springs then re compress them to the height the customer wants.

^ I did this to my rear springs, took 3 hours to do, cost me $80 for both and came back EXACTLY what I wanted! Cheap, but effective for "road" use. Handling wise, if your "racing" your car and need every bit of good suspension, It's probobly not the best.
