To answer your question about drop, you have the option of going with lowering springs like Intrax or Tein if you want a 1.8 drop. If you want a subtle drop, the Eibachs are for you. What is your budget and what exactly do you want to do with your car?

Correction to flip's post...

Eibach does not make a spring kit for the '97-'01 ES. H&R makes a kit for the '01 ES (1" drop all around).

Correction to the person above: The Eibach Pro Kit or TRD Sport Parts Spring for the MCV20 (Camry/Solara) chassis will work on the 97-01 ES. Model specific, utilize the Solara version for a 1.6" drop all around. This kit will also work with the Gen5 Camry and current ES model. Intrax and H&R will drop lower than the Eibach. If you want even lower, utilize the JIC Magic FLT A-2 or SF1 coilover system for the MCV20 Camry/Solara chassis.

Good Luck

Nice to know that the Camry/Solara models share the same chassis platform as the ES, thereby sharing similar suspension components. Also nice to know that replacement parts for the ES are not just limited to those specific for the ES

Good looking out that the Solara's Eibach kit (1.6" drop) can work on any ES with the MCV20 chassis.
