As seen in this thread, you can get Solara TEIN Super Streets but you'll have to use your existing strut mounts. Installation could likely be complicated because of this.

I have the Solara TEIN Super Streets on my 1998 ES. They are a direct fit.
If you want to see pictures, look on my profile.

I have seen your thread , your car is a neck breaker! Props! Is that the only TEINS that fit? How much did you get them for ? If I'm right , I saw that there about $1,000. Any other cheaper coilers out there?

yeah pretty sure those are the only Teins that fit. I got them for $100
There are other brands such as BC, Ksport, Megan.. I also have Megan coilovers but they don't go as low as the Teins

i bought them used off my friend he has a solara so hes been really helpful with giving me parts for my car for cheap/free (2 sets of coilovers,intake,strut bar)
One of the coilovers looked pretty banged up from something so I had it overhauled for about $300 so the total cost for the teins was around $400.

I got the megans with couple thousand miles on them for $300 plus my oem struts. Probably the dumbest thing I could do since now my megans are sitting around collecting dust.
