yes, search... most cars do this.... just look around at any car... especially, the safer, family oriented cars. thats why the chassis is soooo low too. cause the fenders are made to sit high. when you lower the car, the chassis is actually really close to the ground. and when you get extremely low, by using coilovers,bags,airride or cut springs, the chassis actually only sits a couple inches from the ground. dangerous for our exhaust... i worry about mine every time i go to NYC.

my H&R springs on my gen 3 are close, but I believe the front has a bit more gap. The chassis sits level though, I bleieve I read that the gen 3 just has more front fender gap than rear. Watch your exhaust, mine is about 4 inches off the ground, havent scraped yet but youve really gotta be careful.

My car with Sprints... I have a good finger and half gap and the rear, I'm tucking.

That should be gone because I should be recieving my D2 coilovers any day now.

"the gen 3 just has more front fender gap than rear..."- as seen in my previous post. but yes, I learned that from the man himself Ufoz a few months back.

didnt Jon run two different springs front and rear on his green gen 3 v6 back when he had it to lower the front more than the rear?

the problem with that is, when you buy 2 sets of springs, and all the struts, you are coming close to coilover price....

Almost everyones camry will end up like this.



I was thinking about cutting the front a little, but any lower my car will be ruined on the shithole construction and high driveways here.
