Default Need stiffer suspensions. Advice?

Well everytime I make a turn I hear everything in my back exaggerate, sounds like a tornado back there. Maybe I could lower my car too alittle. Anyone know what company I should get? Thanks guys

No. The have to be car-specific.

You can use the equivalent year Camry coilovers because it shares the same suspension.

Megan is going to probably be making coilovers for the 3rd Gen ES, Solara and Camry. My buddy here on CL and Solaraguy.com has prototype Megan coilovers on his Gen 1.5 Solara. He got them for free, to test run and give feedback, first ever to have Megan prototypes for our suspension. Hopefully soon they will be available, they are still tweaking things and a collar hook up for the front sway bar to the coilover.

We can get you the BC Racing coilovers for your car if you're intersted. Less than $1k, better than the Megans too, more features.

Shoot us a PM if interested
