I've got Eibach Pro-Kit Solara springs. The advertised drop is 1.6 compared to 1.2 for the Camry.

The rear is just about flush with the fender. Keep in mind I have audio equip in the trunk. The front is about 2-2.5 fingers. I think it's a perfect drop. You can click my "WWW" for a pic

Alot of ppl complained about the soft stock rear suspension and it's tendency to bottom out, even without a load. Roads are pretty bad here in T.O. too and I've never bottomed out. Not knowing your area and what you have to go through, I can't really comment whether or not you should proceed. However, if you already have problems negotiating your driveway as it is now, you might not wanna go lower. As you saw from my pics, I've got a kit and have to be aware of steep inclines. Occasionally my front and rear end does scrape on steeper driveways and inclines. It doesn't happen often but when it does....
