for the shocks, I got them through www.shox.com
which springs are you going to get? If you get the tanabe df210 or nf210, go to www.hopupracing.com I got mine there. You can also get the tein s-tech from that site, but you have to look under the solara.

Thanks buddy ! these are really great sources!

Anyway, are there lowering springs that could drop to 2-3 inches? because I saw most of the lowering springs drop in range 1"-1.5".

I saw the spring rates of Tanabe df210 is 2.8/2.7. Is that comfort or hard kinda springs? Do you guys know what is the range of spring rates for comfort or sport performance springs?

oow one more thing, I saw at the CL ES300 classified, there is someone who sell his Tein S Techs 97-01-model : Solara +99.. I asked him will the spring fit in ES300 '02, yet he don't have any clue. Does anyone know?

thank you..

1. Kyb Struts
2. Eibach Pro - Kit Springs --Details : lowers 1.1 inch fr. & rear
3. B&G Sport Springs --Details : lowers 1.4 fr and rear
4. Ingalls Camber Kit Front --Details : Allows one degree per front axle for two degrees buy two kits.
5. Ingalls Rear fastcam Camber Bolts --Details : Allows one degree adj. per front axle for a 2% adj. buy two kits.

Is there any shocks in the list here? Sorry I ask so many questions.

also check the solara, camry of the same years.

Struts, shocks are all the same. So, in your list you have the KYB's.

also the Tokico's are one to consider depending on your year.
