Ordering springs and shocks
My plan is to order a set of Whiteline springs, but I have not made up my mind on the shocks. I wanted Koni's; however, it appears they do not make a set for the ES300 or Camry. My next thought was to get Takico's HP series shocks, but I'm still not 100% sure. I was hoping someone could provide me with a little guidance on shock selection.

Well I placed an order for a set of Whiteline springs ($297+shipping) last week and today I ordered the Tokico shocks($370). I plan on doing the install myself but before the parts get here is there anything else I should get or anything I should know before the install?

It took a really long time but I got all the parts and installed them last weekend. Here are a few pics...
Stock springs next to the Whiteline spring (front).
Rear springs
Strut ready to go on the car (rear strut)
The end result is a 1" drop on all 4 corners.

The ride is awesome; I give it 
It rides a lot stiffer then stock, but it seems to glide over bad road conditions, unlike the stock set up were I would have to slow down to save myself the shakedown. But I was riding on some worn out struts before.
I have a quicker steering response and almost no body roll.
