Default Looking For Lowering Springs For 03 Camry SE V6

I currently own a 03 Camry SE V6. I have 18 inch wheels on them and I'm trying to decide which springs to get. I just want to close the gap between the fenderwell and the tire. I think right now I have at least a 2 inch gap in the front and probably 1 1/2 inch in the rear. I've seen Eibach Pro-Kits, H&Rs, Suspension Techniques, and Teins available for my car. Which is the best for my car both looks and ride comfortability?

Also I read that the SEs have a better OEM suspension than the regular Camry models, I should be okay keeping the original shocks with aftermarket springs right?

if you got tein h. techs it'll lower it not so much, and retain a good comfortable ride with slightly increased handling.

thats what i did. the rest seems a tad more aggressive and performance oriented. (tein s. techs are more performance oriented too).

I've heard the Eibachs are pretty good too. They lower it just enough so that you don't have to get a camber kit

actually the ebach in my case would lower it more than my H.techs and my mechanics have already told me that to get a proper alignment done on my car i would need to buy som ecamber kits...

i currently have all negative cambers, and ebacs would cause an even more negative camber.

What is the drop with the Tein springs? Also are you noticing a lot of wear on the inside of your tires with the Tein springs?

H. Tech springs are about 1.2-1.5 inch drop all around. S. techs are about 2 or more inches i believe. H. will retain more regular ride quality and has less of a negative camber, so wear on my tires are pretty even. But as my mechanic told me, the car will not handle as it did originally and a true good alignment can never be obtained even with camber kits. I dont know if what he says is true, but to me i dont notice uneven wear. Only slightly if any.
