Default ES350 w/18" wheels with Camry Eibach Pro Kit springs?

Has anyone gone with this combination? If so, could you post some pics please? I need to keep the car looking somewhat conservative because I take clients around in the car but at the same time I want to personalize it and make it unique.

The Camry Eibach's give it just the right drop with 1" in the front and 1.4" in the rear since the rear. I've got to go with the 18" wheels because the 19" tires are just too expensive and I think the 20" wheels might be too in your face for the purpose the car serves.

Thanks

Don't have that combo, but I think 18" will look great. Someone posted a pic of the 18s from a GS and it looked amazing. Just enough to be different but not over the top.

I purchased the springs but they are collecting dust in the garage at the moment. I'm having trepidations about lowering the car for fear of how it will look, particularly with the smaller stock rims. Not sure when I'll pull the trigger on new rims. Will likely go ahead and install them in a few weeks and will post pics.

Sorry, I forgot to answer the question. It is the Eibach Prokit for Camry SE, don't have the actual number handy at the moment. I spoke with a local Toyota performance shop and they are telling me that the factory tolerances should accommodate the springs without having to install the camber bolts. We shall see.
