suspension and clutch question

[RudyT]

I have a 97 camry 2.2 MT CE. Since this cold started the clutch started slipping. Is the centerforce stage 1 clutch kit decent? the car is a daily driver and dont want to put an autozone clutch in it.

Also is there anybody out there that sells bushings for the front and rear lateral arms or am i stuck with having to buy the whole bar?

Car also needs struts. Do the kyb struts come with the boot and insulator and or are these parts all seperate? And is the tokico's worth the few extra bucks? Yes i know i plan on changing the strut mounts as well.

thanx in advance

camry soon to be pimped

do you need a centerforce? How many miles on the oem clutch? I would probably replace using oem re-manufactured. However the centerforce is a decent unit. Make sure you check the hydraulics. At the very least replace the fluid and bleed the system. Change the brake fluid at the same time.
Strut wise either the Tokico or the KYB are fine. They are oem after all. If you are looking for more performance stay with the KYB gas-a just line rather than GR2 if available. You may also want to consider koni or bilstein if you want performance/handling. Make sure your alignment shop sets it up with the negative camber to the max. There are adjustment bolts available if necessary. The rear should also be set to the max on negative camber. Toe at stock setting is ok. If the caster is out I think there is a kit to adjust but it has been a while so I am not sure if it is still available. Do not forget to make sure your bushings are good.

What about the front and rear lateral arms in the rear suspension? Can bushing kits be found anywhere or am i stuck buying 4 new lateral arms @ a steep price of $100 each?

The oem bushings used to be available. I can't say for sure now. if you are looking for urethane ck out Energy Suspension.
