Default Lowering:

Has anyone lowered their car with the TRD springs or any others?
Springs and wheels are next.

I traded mine for a Highlander Hybrid because my back and knees told me it was too low.

You need different springs in the back due to battery pack and 12 v battery in the trunk, about 150-200 lb more than "normal" Camry, I would imagine. I think somebody did something like that about 6-10 months ago, try searching. I hope snow is not common where you drive, or you'll be hanging the chasis, there is only around 6.5" clearance as it is.

Search for "FlopShot" and you'll read plenty about his lowered TCH. Bottom line is you'd need the SE springs in back and the TRD in front. Don't put TRDs all around... the rear will bottom out while the front gets raised... Strange, but FlopShot showed his experiment with pics. I am waiting to lower mine as well. Waiting for the TRD/Eibach springs to arrive, I already have a set of SE springs. I am also considering H&R springs as a viable alternative. We'll see...
