The Avalon is rather smooth; I wouldn't want it any other way. I think a stiffer ride would make the driver happy, but the Avalon is a passenger's car. Your passenger(s) may not like the feel from stock. I would rather change the wheels than lower the car. But that's just my opinion.

None that I know of, however they did show off like 3 different cars at SEMA last year. All of them looked lowered. Probably custom coilovers, springs and such though. If not now, then maybe later. There also isnt a huge aftermarket for the Avalon. I still wouldnt mind seeing an Avy lowered. I really like the look of the car.

Actually, I rode in an '06 Avalon Touring last weekend... I was surprised at how firmly it rode. Frankly, my GS lowered 2" on coilovers & 20" wheels rides better.

Love the Avalon, but I wouldn't get the Touring package. I believe a well-engineered set of lowering springs could actually ride better than the Touring package. I'd drop that car in a heartbeat.

4tehNguyen: It's doubtful that GS springs would work- the cars are entirely different platforms. It's possble that they are interchangeable with Camry springs, though...

Do you have pictures of it B1???

The new avalon looks good and when they're modded ( with rims)

I haven't seen any with body kits.
