2000 ES Suspension plans
Looking for suggestions on the following:
Springs: Going to have the 5star gs wheels soon, so Im thinkin eibach pro kit, which is a 1.6" drop. With a 1.6" drop it looks pretty clean on the stock wheels as per measuring it up earlier today.
Sways: No idea for this, I know theres no sways on the front end, not sure about the rear though. Just want to get less body roll on it.

actually i'm pretty sure you do have stock front and rear sway bars. the only two aftermarket options for sway bar that i know of are trd and whiteline. whiteline has both front and rear sway bars and trd only made a rear one. I currently have the rear trd sway bar and it helped out a lot.
If your talking about strut bars, they help out very little compared to sway bars. You can use the stock strut bar off a solara or buy an ebay strut bar. As for the rears there is no rear strut bar that i currently know of probably due to the location of the struts. I have the stock solara strut bar right now and all i noticed was a little stiffer ride.
Good luck

What's your budget? Springs are okay but you will have to get a set of aftermarket shocks to go with it. Your stock shocks will blow very quickly, I say in 2 months tops. If you have the money I say just go for a set of coilovers. If you're set on springs, then you really can't go wrong with anything. Just remember to pair them up with a set of aftermarket shocks, either kyb GR2's or tokico blues i think.
