Tokico is stiffer than KYB, but both are good choices ...

K-Sport springs are worthless, dont waste your time with them -- Eibach springs are good but only drop the car about 1", Tein springs are great and from what i just read the Megan springs have not worked out well for the Gen 4

i dont think there is a TRD Front Stabilizer/Sway Bar, but there is a TRD Front Strut Tower Bar (goes in the engine bay, on top of the strut mounts) ... and the TRD Rear Sway Bar is great

well the bump steer will get worse i promise

tokico are the shocks id go with and eibach or tein. and you HAVE to get an upgraded RSB, either whiteline or TRD. otherwise the whole thing will be a waste of money IMO.

You also have the option of H&R springs, wich slightly drop the car more in the front than the rear, to even up the drop a bit more. The overall drop with these springs is around 1.5" wich is a great compromise.

They are also great quality like Tein or Eibach

KYB GR-2 struts with Eibach pro-kit springs is a very good combo that gives you better handling but isn't too drastic that it kills your kidneys. I've never heard of anybody putting tein springs around kyb struts but it will probably end up working well.

You should also look at coilover set ups. Tein makes their "Basic Damper" which fits the camry or there is the Tokico HPK Coilovers. Ground Control also makes camry coilovers.

well im looking to be more confident in the corners than the stock setup, i have a " race car " mk2 1990 jetta aba16vturbo with, polybushings, 4pt stressbar in rear and upper bar with 28mm lower swaybars and weitec coilovers... so that's my monster i just want some improvment this car is soooo sloppy.

i guess ill go with the TRD rear swaybar, the H&R or Tein Springs, and Tokico shocks.

i like the tokico's before i had coils on my jetta i had the tokico blue lowering cup kit and it was very nice. so i can deffinatly find this going on my camry.

thanks for the imput
