Okay now you've got me there. I don't believe that they had the Solara 1996....I got the bar for the 1998 Solara to install in my 1997. The body style changed between the 1996 and the 1997 for the ES...hmmmm...I suggest you go ahead with the suspension first...struts/mounts etc and then once it's installed...order the bar. I think you'll end up ordering one for the same year Camry from one of the online dealers...don't have much information on this since I don't have the same year car...but there has to be somebody in the forums who has a decent bar installed in their 96.

Need recommendations for tower bar / brace for my 96 ES300. Please list name, year model and where I might buy it. Also when replacing shocks do I need to replace entire strut assembly or just the shock? Thank you.

Eibach, TRD (rebadged Eibach's, overpriced, same thing don't buy them) - The Camry / ES 300 spring drops 1.25". The Solera drops 1.5" and is slightly stiffer.
Tien S-tech's are really good. Better than the Eibach's, but slightly stiffer when you compair them.
The TRD struts are Bilsteins's. They're very good. Well sorted combined with Eibach, or Tien's.
Tokio blue's are also very good.
Behind that is about everybody else. Some struts are really good, and some really suck.
