Looks good! Are these the custom coilovers that we were all talking about here but the thread got pulled? How's the ride quality?

If and when you post new pictures be sure to include a straight on side shot so we can see better. Looks good from what you posted so far though.

NICEEEEE bchi.... i think he got the megans coilovers for the camry, but im not sure. Its looking sweet. Any ride difference? even from the 20's on stock springs? YEah i second that look from straight on the side.. none of these angle shots.. direct from the side to see it in all its glory.

Default very nice

that is exactly the look I want to get when I get the ES350. I want a Black ES and I would want it dropped like that. Very well done. It gives its a much better stance and over all look that way IMO. Is there any difference in ride?

Visually so much better with a proper stance.

thanks for all the props everyone. when i first joined CL i started to post on aftermarket mods and a lot of people were telling me the es isn't supposed to be "hooked up" I hope i did my car right. LOL, now i just got to persuade someone to make a body kit for this car. As for the coils, nope these are megans not custom/prototype. The ride is obvoiusly not stock. But you'd expect that if you drop and stiffin up the suspension.

It does ride a lot harder but i did drop i almost 4 inches. I went really agressive. there is not gap and when the car has a full tank the rear wheel tucks. oh yea, the offset of the wheels really does matter, i got kinda lucky getting a 38 offset b.c that is perfect for the drop.
