You could use the Tein S-Tech springs for 99-01 Solara V6s. They fit Gen 3s, and when on a Solara, have a raked stance (hiked up rear), which would negate the sagging (also helpful that they're JP-made and heat-treated, unlike the mystery-manufactured Tenzos, Dropzones, etc.).

Weight-wise, the Gen 3 wagon weighs 3263 lbs., while a Gen 1 Solara coupe is also around 3200, and the convertible is 3485 lbs.

Hope that helps.

Just don't act like speedbumps are something you can flat-out accelerate over and you should be fine.

how low are you planning to go? i believe all springs for the CAMRY have that sagging Rear. probably not the solara's but most gen 3+4 are. I have gen 4 Zenn rear springs and front cut springs on mines. I like it Low. =)

Hell, I have TRD lowering springs and I feel like it's sagging in the rear I think it's the car more than anything else

well i kno that the gap btwn the wheel and the wheel-well is much larger in fron than the back on the gen 3's. so i think thats why you think ur saggin... the wagon looks about 3 in lower in the back than the sedan dos. (with sedan lowering springs. to see,,,take a level and put it on the underside of your car door to see if its really saggin or just looks like it. just a thought. GL

In Australia. You'll have to contact the seller about shipping to USA. According to the description, they lower the wagon approx 30-35mm (about 1.2-1.4 inches)
