Whats the wheel/fender gap, front and rear (in fingers or inches) on your Camry in this pic... I don't think the H&R's are going to do it for me.

and are those ES300 rear disc brakes?

ES300 rear disc brakes will fit a Camry 92-present however Jeff's car had the ABS option from Toyota so he got discs from the factory.

Exactly. What's more, they're discs from a V6 Camry. That's why the rears are bigger than the fronts. The V6 fronts would be bigger. Any thoughts on a swap?? What's involved? The would the calipers lines, etc. be different?

Forgot to mention that the rear is tucked and the front have a bit more than one finger gap.

They're on VIS coilovers.

If you are getting the assembly, you need the hubs, calipers, discs (if you want them), brake lines ... abs line will come with it but doesn't need to be connected.

you can find every piece you need at any part yard.
Put in Camry - year - part and it will give you a listing of every part, part price, part condition from every year Toyota and Lexus that will bolt right on to your specific Camry. I just ordered my brackets calipers and discs yesterday pretty cheap too.
Good Luck!

Jeff - you should just need the discs and maybe brackets.
...really??? the rear tires don't look tucked and the fronts look like at least 1 1/2 maybe 2 fingers... hmmm... what tire dimensions do you have? xxx/xx/18?
Mine are 215/50/17 (which ='s 45/18 in total diameter) I thinking of putting my H&amp;R's on my sisters wagon and getting a set of B+G's 1.6&quot; (40mm) drop.
It should look similar to yours just not adj.able.

Anish - To do the swap from drums you only need the discs, brackets and calipers.

thanx guys!

Hey Jeff,

Got a question. I see you have Bosal headers on your car. I got a '96 5S-Fe and i think those headers will fit my car as well. How's the performance increase ? Any ?

Yes it will fit yours as well, although it was designed for the 92-94 models. To fit 95s and 96s, you have to weld in a sensor bung behind the cat and extend the sensor wire there. Also, your exhaust piping will have to be extended. In other words, it's not a simple DIY install.

As for gains, I notice that the high RPMs are really opened up. I would recommend it. I got mine through http://www.stranoparts.com

I read in a very recent article that the GT4 manifold is a direct fit for the 5S-FE! That's a 3S-GTE engine as well except it is front engine, not mid engine as in the MR2.

The article was on this blue camry who did a custom turbo on his 5S-FE using various GT4 and MR2 parts as a starter. Got my veins boiling. :grin:

Are you ABSOLUTELY sure? Because the shop that is going to do it for me said you need the hubs (not discs, cuz I have Brembos), calipers, brake lines. What brackets are you talking about.

I was on http://www.car-part.com looking for it actually.
