They look great with the color of your car......... they look even better then the car they were on before (DRK GREEN).
Evryone with the same color as yours needs the black look.

Thanks man.. They look good, but imo it would look so much better if I didn't have this broken black lining on the front bumper and a missing foglight. Think you can dig that out of some junkyard in Japan?

bumpbumpbump!!
I remember this thread. I couldn't even do the headlight install myself. I have since learned.... and then some. lol
Anyway, I'm getting my install of springs/shocks tomorrow, so I felt like reviving this thread. Probably the last time I'll be riding on stock height.
Intrax springs...For a 92-96 V6 Camry. 1.6" drop.
Tokico shocks...
Windom sidemarkers...
be back tomorrow or whenever I get pics of the drop. I'm still riding on stock wheels... Waiting on TMEngineering's parcel of Racing Hart C4's. woowoo.

For sure i think that you will have to roll your rear wheel well fenders with a 1.6 inch drop. When I will drop my car, i will roll my rear fender up because i am sure that my new 18x8.5 Giovanna wheels.

binleus, I'll probably have to roll it eventually.. But I'm not gonna do it yet till I slap on my wheels and see how it goes.. My rims are 18x7.5, so I probably won't have as much as a problem as you would have with 18x8.5.
Anyway, I'm still here at home, 1:30 pm.. The shop hasn't called me yet. It's raining pretty hard and it's dark, even though its the afternoon...Guam has crazy weather, one minute its sunny, the next its dark as hell. I'm not sure if the drop will be going on today... We'll see though.

Well, turns out that I got it done... I thought it took a while to do... Till my friend got coilovers on his Maxima.. Now that took forever!! It's like they were trying to hide access to the strut.. lmao.
The drop looks pretty good...I'm very very very happy with the the rear, but the front still has a gap.. Maybe when I get the rims the gap will be less and also need time to settle.. I was a bit hesitant with the sidemarkers, but I go ahead and let them put it on...it turned out nice! As for the strut bar... They recommended not to keep it on, as it had no clearance whatsoever..so it would be hitting when the car would shift. Here are some pics for yall.. Sorry my car is hella dirty, it's been raining.
Here's the front.. Can you see the Tokico??
I wish the front was like this too:
DIRTY!!

I took it out for a spin... All I can say is WOW!! I can't even any ride harshness at all. If anything, it feels better than before! I am extremely happy with this mod... But now I have to get an alignment cuz it pulls to the left sorta..

Well, I am getting some "clanging" noises when I make sharp right turns.. I called up the shop and they said that this happens because of a misaligned springs.. Which is a booboo on their part. They told me to try driving around for a few more days to see if they align themselves and if it doesn't then they will fix it.
Anyway, ride is awesome man... For a dropped car, it's awesome. The only noticeable difference is when I hit bigger bumps, I can feel the after bump a little bit more, but not to the point in which it irritates me...I'm used to bumpy roads, Guam is full of them.
