Smile Lowering Es350 w/ Megan Racing Coilovers for Camry

To all of those who put in MR coilovers in their Es350:

Can I please have some feedback and advice? Specifically, I'd like to know what dampness settings did you guys use and how low did you lower the car.

At the moment I'm thinking of leaving the dampening setting in the middle and leaving the car @ stock height because I'm worry the car will scrape a lot and also would look ugly lowered with stock rims. Also, it would be much appreciated if you could tell how the car handles while cornering and how much of the body roll is reduced. Thank you guys!

lowered on stockies looks better than riding high



if you got them...why not putting them on and see and feel for yourself the difference.
also, it might be good to practice driving a lowered car first before you get rims. otherwise you might smash up your new rims if you hit a bump too hard or something.

I used to have my ES on Megans. It handled much better, but its still not a nimble car. But it did feel better in turns.

You guys would be surprised how much handling is improved with wider tires on top of lowering your car

Of course, sway and strut bars help too but I'm not sure if ES's have that part or not...
