1987 Toyota Camry Road Scrape
Posted 18 years ago on October 24, 2007

Without the front pair of rims on, the car tended to slam against the pavement on dips.

I lowered my Camry almost 5 inches from stock, which wasn't a big deal when the 17 inch rims accompanied the drop. But when I ride with the 14 inch stock rims, the front of the car had only 1.5 inches of clearance. Now that wouldn't be such a big deal if I hadn't created a custom coil-over suspension, with really soft springs. That means, when hitting the brakes, the car was able to dip itself into the ground, and/or lay flat across the ground when driving over dips (as seen in the video).

So normally, the car ran with all four 17 inch rims on them, but were removed this particular night for a small short film we were working on. This road-scraping footage was caught by accident.
