Default Tokico Struts and lowering springs

Can someone who has that setup, post a picture of the car from the side. Im trying to see how much it actually drops depending on the springs and such that you use. I want to use coilovers but the price is just really high for my budget lately. My rear struts are so worn out that the wheels are toed out.

You should spend a bit extra and get coilovers! The price of mine are falling!

Toyotanation is having a group buy for k Sport coilovers. Not tryin to mess up your deal hitman, so, I'll also say that group buys take almost forever to get the parts. Being that they are dealing with more than one person.

Hi,

May I ask what that looks like? I think mine may be the same cause I do get a little uneven wear as if my car was already lowered and my car sits lower than my parent's camry.

My car is on Intrax 1.6" and Tokicos. Here is a pic without my aero kit so you can get a better idea of how it looks...

Hey Juan, what aero kit is on your car I like it. As well as what do you recommend as far as lowering springs and struts?
