Suspension Done!

Finally got all my suspension components together and worked on it yesterday. Everything went smoothly except for putting in the sway bar and mounting the bracket. Putting it in was a pain but I eventually got them in with a help of a friend. I had to phone him over to help me out haha. For those wondering about the tire/wheel combo, they are Stern ST8's 17x8.5 on 225/50/17 Hankook Ventus HR2

TRD springs
TRD rear sway bar
TRD front strut bar
Tokico shocks












I also tinted the side clear corners but I'm not really feeling them after doing it so I wiped them down with acetone and they are back to clear now.

Next project: Front dual piston calipers and rear disc brake conversion. I have most of the parts already but I need to gather a few more things.

I think all of us gen4's have trouble with the brackets and rear sway bar. Anywho, good to hear you got it installed. You can still add more suspension parts though

Thanks for the comments everyone!

As for more suspension components...I think I am pretty much good for now. I need to get my brake parts together so I can finally start working on the swap.

All it needs now is some Euro clear corners and some other TRD parts.

Nice looking Camry man! Congrats on getting the suspension stuff done. It is a huge pain, but such an improvment when it is all said and done.

Don't know what you need for your brake conversion for the rear brakes, but I have a nice set of OEM rear rotors and pads. They are used, but in awesome condition. The only reason I took them off was I upgraded to drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads.

Please let me know how much of a difference the rear sway bar made. I have my front and rear sway bars waiting to be installed, hopefully soon.

You know, it's funny you should say that because I was about to post the exact same thing last night, but decided against it, haha.
