Has anyone ever managed to raise the suspension of a Camry (94). I live in Africa and find the ground clearance a little too low. Thanks Neil McMullen Please reply to Group as my email is fake.

Might have an easier time fitting slightly taller wheels and/or tires than altering suspension geometry. For example the 4 cyl. has 70 series profile aspect ratio tires, you could try going to 75 series, and or from the stock 14" wheel to 15". The six has 65 aspect ratio sidewalls stock, so going to 75 would probably be enough right there. Taller sidewalls will increase flex resulting in softer ride and less precise handling in the corners - could rub fender wells on full lock turns, but probably not. Speedometer will be off. Other route would be to replace springs and struts to increase ride height. That would increase angle of operation in the axles and CV joints, probably increasing wear. If African roads are giving you the ground clearance problem, I'd try the taller tires, first. Here's a tire calculator:
