Time for a new suspension... need ideas on parts

1st of all no i'm not lowering my car! i drive down mean ass dirt roads full frigging tilt.. if possible i'd like to lift a little

now i need struts all around, and springs in the rear, maybe front too

i want some real stiff stuff, would those tokico struts work on non lowering spring?

the car's a 92 camry V6

i'll bring the car and parts into the shop to get the labour done, suspensions scare me...

You can change to tokicos with no problem. If you want to raise the rear, you can get wagon springs for the rear. However the car willlook as if its raking.

eibachs are fine....you probably just got bad luck when getting them....
but try taking your spare out....if the diff isn't really that big, it should even out the car...
