    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?

    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.

    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).

    Looks are subjective. If you like that "my car has 6 large people stuffed in it look", go for it. Personally, I like to see the top of the tire in the well just a bit like atticdog`s pic. I thought krouchchocolate`s pic had gone too low, but hey, you only have yourself to please.

    I wouldn`t do it on a camry, but if you do decide to do it go for the look found in the second picture. The first one looks bad.
