If you want to lower the car you will need lowering springs. The internet is a good source to start looking.

The link below lists the 86 in the sales literature but does not seem to list the actual part.

Might call or email and inquiry.

Never heard of swapping springs to lower Camry but doesn't mean it is not possible.

Try the Toyotanation website.
