lowering my 07 camry

I was thinking about getting the trd springs to lower my car, but I will be having a 175-200 pound sound system in the trunk. I know this will make the rear sag so does anybody have a solution to this?

No, just like a juvenile way of making a family sedan look more "sporty"

Re: lowering my 07 camry

I'm not one to lower a car but there's no reason to crap on somebody that wants to do so. Using TRD products is a wise choice if you decide to do it. Better handling should come about as a result......along with a few chin scrapes.

Re: lowering my 07 camry

The TRD drop actually looks decent... gets rid of excess wheel gap. TRD springs normally don't lower the car enough to cause scraping, unless you go for a bodykit... which would be strange on a Camry unless it was a factory option.

The second picture is a bit too "slammed" IMHO, though. Wheel gap should equal (or be slightly less) than the thickness of the tire. Anything more or less looks wrong (unless we're talking about a vehicle like a truck or such).
