I'm planning on getting some Tein super street coilovers. I just need someone to confirm the complete list of stuff i need when replacing everything with coilovers.

If u are getting Tein's on your ES? I suggest that u replace all the strut mounting plates since the kit requires to reuse them. Super Pro sells bushing kits for our ES (the camry bushings are compatible as well) and Tein USA also distributes them.. A rear sway bar from Whiteline, Addco, or TRD (from a Solara and now discontinued from TRD).

Theres not many companies that makes parts for our cars but I take my time finding sources n do my research. Its not so easy to find parts for a 5 speed ES either =(, nor for other generations. But i'm willing to find anything for our ES' n make our lil' community of Camry, Solara, ES-series, and Avalon grow...

I've heard to just buy new stock strut mounts. Is that the only thing i would need to buy after buying the coilovers?

Hmm.. nope.. it would be kind of awkward using the parking brake(don't have a e-brake).. but to tell you the truth i was suprisingly actually getting some oversteer.. just pumped up my tires like crazy and made the rear tires a little bit more pumped up.

Yes, but u should check other suspension components and fix it before slapping on some Tein coilvers...
