at the moment i have $800.00 USD .... and a fairly stock Gen 3 Camry. I already have wheels (ICW 17s). All my audio is taken care of as well (Alpine V12 w/ two Audiobahn 12's). Other that than its all stock. My question for you guys is "What would you do with $800.00 to a "stock" Cam. Keep in mind i'm going for a mix of looks and preformance. I already have some ideas, just curious to see what you guys could come up with.

The headers and cat-back have to be designed and mated properly. I can see a well designed system working out very well. You should get some sort of guarantee from the shop to make any necessary modifications if the results aren't good.

Another route you could take with $800 is full suspension... struts+springs, swaybar and fstb.

yeah i was thinking about doing a lot of stuff with the suspension... about how much does a shop charge to install springs .. i dont feel like busting my knuckles all day long and finding out that it's done wrong. :razz:
