ok lets see. shocks, springs(or just coilovers), rear sway bar(important), strut tower bar, bushings and mounts. that about covers it. but it all depends how much u wanna spend. coilovers are serious performance and drop control, while a spring strut combo is a little better for daily driving since u can mix and match products to get the desiered drop and stiffness.

well u must be a little hard core to wanna, and actually soup up a camry bit ive seen some really nice avalons in my day. wish i had a pic of it but i sware it would rival a benz. s/c'd, good suspension but still vere tame, really nice wheels, sweet ass lip kit(must have been custom) and a killer interior but not over done.

Sway bars are the most important and then get better grippier tires.

Also for your struts and springs, how do you want your ride quailty to be? Close to stock (comfortable) or more performance orientated?

for $400 you arent going to be able to get NEW struts/springs and a sway bar

just to give you an idea, new springs for MY car are $240 ... new struts are about $300 ... and a new swaybar runs a little under $150 [total comes to about $750ish with accesories]

however, if you find someone selling struts+springs on the website, you can probably get them both for $350ish that have barely been used ...
