You have to use the Tein S-Tech for the 99-03 Solara. They share the same MCV20 chassis. I got mine from ebay back then fairly cheap. About $125. The drop is 1.7 f 1.4 r.

So do the tein s-tech springs give you a soft ride with the stock struts? Or is it hell? Any scraping? Just curious. I was thinking to do this if I dont go with coils as well.

The ride was still pretty soft but firm. I was very satisfied with how it felt. Not low enough to scrape unless you take driveways and dips fast.
