I know how come mine is silver and the one I saw on line is blue/greenlish?? does the shape look like yours???? don't tell me it's the wrong parts
and the solara strut bar,,, it's going to cost around 89.75, and I might need to change my shock too so I was thinking about change the sway bar and shock first then get the solara strut bar...
is there a good place to get shock??? because the local shop quote me $470+shipping, and install is another $150. could be more...... and install sway bar it start from $75 per hour. so I don't know it's come pretty hard.... so if anyone here can hook me up with shock please let me know....

if you want struts, go on ebay... theyre a lot cheaper... and $150 sounds way too much, i got my springs & struts changed out for $75

yes I got the bar from ct motorsports.com.... it's $218 plus $60 shipping because I live in Hawaii..
I haven't put them on yet because I was thinking put the sway bar and the strut on at the same time save some installation fee... I will let you guys know how it feel asap...

Hey, howzit!
Cool, front and rear sway bars! Which part number did you order for the rear sway bar? The 97-01 or 92-96 camry part number.

I have a 99 ES300 that I am slowly modding as well

As for struts....try look into Bilsteins (not sure to spelling). I never looked into them because I don't plan on lowering my ride or changing springs.

Later
