Only took 6 years... for Drop, Kit and Rims

I had to replace my worn factory struts so I decided to install some Camry Arospeed springs I've had in the garage for the last 6 years. It was my first time installing springs and struts for me, so that took 2 days. It's also my first time driving a lowered car so I don't have anything to compare it too. But it is a lot nicer in turns and at highway speed.

Pix of my Arospeed + KYB drop. The back is extra low because of the stuff in the trunk.

Good work. Take a few more pics in a week or two without stuff in the trunk once everything has really settled. Did you replace the strut mounts at the same time?

I'm happy with it, I just hope the front settles a little lower. My amps and sub in the trunk have the rear at the height I wanted. :D

Congratulations! Looks like a nice ride. What size is all the stuff in the trunk/how much do you think it all weighs?
Trust me, I'm a technician.
