Lowered Camry Sedan vs. Standard Height Coupe :)

[projektvertx]

So yeah, I pulled into my usual parking structure this morning and I spotted a 95-96 Camry V6 Auto Coupe, sitting there, all alone on that floor I have no idea whose car it is but I decided to take some pics to compare my car, an inch lower on TRD's, as compared to the Coupe, which appeared to be standard height. Don't tell me my car ain't lower I actually put my car on the lift last night at like 10:30 to rotate my tires, and check on some bolts and my buddy, who owns the shop, was just like "Yeah your car is definitly lower than I remember" But anyways, on to the pics I just noticed how low the ceiling is




NOM NOM NOM NOM!! yeah, clearly lower.













Yeah, I was able to park behind the guy, blocking the alley Nobody pulled in for the 10 minutes I was behind the guy

Find out who owns the Coupe and buy it! Then put your TRD's on it


Yours looks good with the TRD drop

Shame, I had a nice set 2 years ago that acted as my winter tire set, I ended up selling them on craigslist for 140$ with the tires still mounted on them. Tires only had 1 season tops left on them thought...

That would be an idea! I just have to find out who it is. Althought the body wasn't in all that great condition, there was some rust in the wheel well area, on the passenger door right above the molding and some rust bubbles around the front passenger side wheel well. Otherwise, it looked like it was in good shape, with some newer tires! Overall, assuming the engine is in good shape, it could be a good project car!

Thanks I really love the TRD's a lot performance-wise, as well as in the looks department Ranks as the best 200$ I ever spent on the car

yours looks nice and flush (I know, I know a construction term, but it's appropriate ) How are the new coilovers?

Thanks I really got a deal/snag with the TRD springs (discontinued) I have in there. I'm pretty sure they were the last new set in the world I would go with coilovers, but problem is I drive 500 miles routinely and coilover wouldn't work for me. And I am really happy with these springs, the fact that they are progressive still surprises me sometime, which is always good!

Sad part is, UPS thought they lost the shipment went trd4life sent them, and we both got real sad. After being bombarded with phone calls by myself and trd4life one evening, UPS had the box show up the next morning at like 8:05

beautiful. Love the drop. i have the same rims as you. Looking at your pics encourages me to go low!

Iunno, they both still look pretty high to me judging by the wheel gap.

Never seen a coupe before in that color. Must be a rare sighting.

fixed.

Eye8pussies and EEngineer both have sedans in that color, but it was the first time I've seen a coupe in that color as well

Gen 3's don't go all that low unless you put in coilovers unfortunately. I that won't happen for the aformentioned reasons...

On the plus side, I brought the Iron Clad for an A/C recharge at the dealership (first time since it came out of the factory, dealership offered a 60$ recharge and a complete vehicle inspection along with it). And get this: NO LEAKS. AT ALL. Not to jynx myself, but I swear my car is amazing... The car has turned back into a 80-90% freeway car again so I figured why not?

And plus a guy actually thought my car looked good!! some random dude was walking out of his car and spotted me walking up to mine and was just like "Clean car". For a second I was confused and actually looked around thinking "Wtf? Is he talking to me?" Apparently he was

Your low-hanging exhaust will scrape the ground way before the undercarriage sustains any damage due to slammage.
