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.

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...
