    Really clean car man, I love these Solara's they're good looking cars when you dress them up. Toyota's are slept on and get a bad rep but they're really really good cars. I got an 01 Camry v6 collectors edition that's in rough shape I'm slowly making mint again. I replaced the carpet with brand new black carpet and got wheels to put on it but want to drop it on coils first but need to replace the whole exhaust first b/c it rotted out lol, but I know it will be worth it b/c a Toyota will outlive you if you treat it right. Love your car and the passion, It inspires me.

      They’re ksports but the previous generation. And they have eibach springs which are a bit shorter than the Ksport springs. It all depends on the brand. A lot of folks like to cheap out with MXR but don’t realize cheaper brands like that won’t get you as low without maxing out the preload and having a terrible ride plus reduced performance
