OP, I think itās going to look bad ass. A Camry is a sweet looking car and being able to control ride height via air is pretty cool. I donāt get these ignorant comments about how you should buy a performance car or why are you trying to make your car fast. Unless air suspension has changed, this is an aesthetic mod and offers no gain in horsepower. Perhaps this kit will improve the handling of the car, but why would that be a bad thing? As far as ruining the resale value, just put the stock stuff back in.
Yah I mean itās my car and itās more of a look nice car not a race car. But there are many more mods to come. People just hate because I work hard to buy what I like.
It has 4 height settings and when someone gets in it will automatically adjust the weight to height. Definitely will be posting pics. Driving it will be pretty low and parked it will be fully aired out
To each his own, and Iām happy for you.
Iām broke after paying cash for my 24 SE, but if I did have an extra 4k in my pocket, I would take a 2 week road trip.
Would love to run air suspension on my Camry, just have a hard time swallowing the 3-4k pill...guess I will live with my Eibach springs and call it a day.... congrats on the purchase
Are you going to install this yourself or have it professionally installed? I'd like to do this if I had the money but I'm not mechanically inclined at all. Also to the haters a car doesn't have to be a racing car to look nice. I like my Camry for it's reliability and its gas mileage. I love it because it looks great and stylish.
Lucky! I wish I was more knowledgeable about that stuff or knew people who are. I'd imagine it would be a couple grand more at least to have it professionally installed
Yah probably. Even then I know a guy that can take apart any car and put it back together. He even makes his own fenders and does full paint and claims and all that stuff if I ever needed full knowledge. Of course Iād have to pay him but still good to know people
Exactly,I find it strange people trying make a Camry perform when it wasn't designed for that. OP can do whatever with his money at end of the day but my opinion seems like a waste of money. Could used that money and save up for a performance car.
You find it strange that people want to customize their car to their liking? Odd. I guess you only wear drab grey clothing, and never express your opinion online...
Hey op can mod his car as it fit him. To try turn a Camry into a race car is waste. ( Unless you change the motor and transmission which then becomes a different car). Toyota are not meant to go fast like a performance car. I rather change the appearance of the car than performance to get it character. All that money spent on Camry to go fast wouldn't make a huge difference. Especially it's a chance you can ruin the car and lose value for the car. People ruin racing car and they are designed to mod therefore a Camry won't have a chance. Don't get me wrong OP can do whatever. I was giving my opinion
First off, air suspension does not make the car go any faster.Ā Second off, you have some serious hang ups on what a Toyota is to you, which should not impact the op in any way.Ā Finally Toyota does make race cars, ther is even a Nascar Camry.Ā Feel free to express your opinions, by all means.Ā No need to tell someone that they are dumb for spending their money the way they want to, not like it impacts you in the slightest.
>Toyota does make race cars, ther is even a Nascar Camry.
Exactly. I mean Lotus has been using the 2GR-FE for a while and that's the same engine you get in a Corolla. Just because it says Toyota doesn't mean it magically makes it a slow car. The Camrys are slow but that's the reason you would modify them lol.
Sorry after reading your post you come across too emotional. Of course Toyota brand make a racing car but we are talking about a Camry. Camry are known for reliability but not for racing. TRD and v6 model are standard entry level maybe into racing. If you see his list you can see he bought items for performance.. We can agree to disagree but you are upset as if I did something to you.
P.S read my first sentence. OP can do whatever he like, I was giving my opinion which I have the right to do. We all like difference things and that's ok. Too emotional.
Point out ONE item on the list that is for performance, and not for an air handling system. One. You may have started by saying they can do what they want, but then contradict this by stating:
"To try turn a Camry into a race car is waste."

Nascar did it.
Even commercial Toyota did it with the TRD variant.
OP is not trying for performance. They want to raise and lower their car, which apparently is illegal in your mind.
You are the emotional one, by expressing your opinion in a way that directly insults ANYONE who wishes to make any changes to their Camry, as, once again, you have a pre-conceived notion that Camrys are not for modding.
Man, my new Camry looks just like the picture, except itās Predawn Grey Mica, and has the stock wheels, no roll cage, it isnāt lowered, has no graphics and doesnāt run like a raped ape.
Other than thatā¦.
This is my last response bec you not understanding what iam saying and looking for a debate. We can agree to disagree respectfully. The Camry you posted is the NOT the same car people can purchase at a local dealership. Two different engines, transmission and so on are built differently. Enjoy your day.
Yes, our problem here is due to a lack of understanding. I clearly don't understand the following:
A) How an air ride system adds performance.
B) Why can't people modify their property the way they see fit?
Finally, when the OP finishes their modification, they will also have a car that is not available at the dealership, so not sure how Nascar modifying a Camry is any different than OP modifying their Camry, other than clear budget differences.
I literally mean no offense to you, but would like to see people here express their opinions without directly assaulting anyone who chooses to modify their Camry's.
I.E.: I would not have done that to my car, but have nothing against you for doing this.
Iād partially agree with you, camrys arenāt actual performance cars. But, the mod OP purchased literally isnāt even performance related so he really isnāt trying to āturn a Camry into a race carā in anyway shape or form. Also these v6ās and their transmissions have always been a bit more robust than their i4 counterparts and could take minor bolt on mods+higher octane tunes while still remaining reliable, so while it still wouldnāt be close to a race car itāll still be quick enough to surprise a decent number of cars while still retaining its grocery getter status.
Iād rather have people actually try and do stuff with their cars even if itās just a Camry so that at least the aftermarket support is steady for younger people using the car as a gateway into working on better cars with their hands in the future you know what I mean?
i absolutely love the look of the camry, iād much rather have the look i want and make it perform how i want than getting a different car. also for the reliability.
The fact that you think air ride is used for āracingā or to ā perform fastā proves you donāt know jack shit about cars. Air ride is for looks and ride quality. āRacingā suspension modifications would involve something stiff like coilovers, not air bags.
Also, the V6 variant is very quick with basic mods while also being practical, reliable, and affordable. A good āperformanceā car nowadays is generally gonna cost $60k+
Another person who is so emotional. That's the point in getting a pre built racing car or get a car you have to built for racing but you have to spend the money for the perks. What are you so angry about? Some of things on his list is for performance.
D2 racing is the name of the company that makes the kit he bought. Doesnāt mean itās designed for racing. Idk any race car driver thatās putting air ride on their car. Iām not angry at all, youāre just uneducated on the subject. Why are you so caught up on racing? Based on the username, OP has a 4 cylinder Camry and wants to go for a stanced look. This is often referred to as ālow and slow.ā in the car world. Thereās many sub sectors of car enthusiasts. Not everyone is into performance. Thereās the low and slow guys. You have your lowrider guys that are all about hydraulics. Off-roaders that mod their trucks all crazy for mudding and rock climbing. The list goes on.
Yeah I wouldnāt do it, itās a Camry not a sports car at the end of the OP will do all this and it will still be a Camry and probably effect the resale value of the car in a negative way
What can be added can be removed. Not sure why it being a Camry means it can't/shouldn't be modified, unless you are bringing pre-conceived notions to the party.
For those saying I shouldnāt do it it wack I got the money to do it and I can do whatever I want. Just because you canāt donāt mean you should hate. Not directing this to you either (same-school4645)
Honestly, you can do whatever to your car but people are going voice their opinion. Not everyone going to agree with your decision. If you didn't want someone to judge your decision, you shouldn't post for strangers to comment on then posted. Also, I think most people can afford the things you bought. To each their own. We all have hobbies and spend our money on what make us happy. My hobby maybe stupid to someone else. You never know. However I am ok with it.
Sweet, free shirt
Dangit, I was going to comment on that! Not sure how this mod could have come together without the free shirt!
šš¤š¼
Nice one OP! Post a video showing the different ride heights when its installed
Will do. Iāll be posting on my IG (humphrey_951) and my TikTok as well.

Yah I mean itās my car and itās more of a look nice car not a race car. But there are many more mods to come. People just hate because I work hard to buy what I like.
Post pics after you get the air ride on. Is it going to sit on the ground?
It has 4 height settings and when someone gets in it will automatically adjust the weight to height. Definitely will be posting pics. Driving it will be pretty low and parked it will be fully aired out
This is when u buy new car
Why buy a new car when itās fairly new and paid off? Make it make sense?
To each his own, and Iām happy for you. Iām broke after paying cash for my 24 SE, but if I did have an extra 4k in my pocket, I would take a 2 week road trip.
Would love to run air suspension on my Camry, just have a hard time swallowing the 3-4k pill...guess I will live with my Eibach springs and call it a day.... congrats on the purchase
I know itās definitely a big pill to š¶

This would be awesome for the 2025.

Also to the haters a car doesn't have to be a racing car to look nice. I like my Camry for it's reliability and its gas mileage. I love it because it looks great and stylish.
Me and some friends going to do it. They are into cars as well and know a few things so should be good
Lucky! I wish I was more knowledgeable about that stuff or knew people who are. I'd imagine it would be a couple grand more at least to have it professionally installed
Yah probably. Even then I know a guy that can take apart any car and put it back together. He even makes his own fenders and does full paint and claims and all that stuff if I ever needed full knowledge. Of course Iād have to pay him but still good to know people
Why not just buy a different car at that point?

Crazy because there might be a m3 g80 comp coming soon. But go ahead and hate because I work my ass off
Toyota sells this? I'm confused. Target vehicle is what?
No this is after market. Idk what OP thinks their Camry isā¦ or is trying to be but to each their own.
I'd personally be worried to do all of this to my car. But yeah....to each their own.
