replace suspension and brake parts?

fyi: i have a 91 camry dx /w 3sfe

question: since my car has 150k miles on it and the springs and struts have never been replaced and teh rotors and brakes haven't been replaced in a while and teh brake fluid is old, should i replace all this stuff?

i want to get dropzone lowering springs, KYB struts, new suspension components(strut boot, etc...) new rotors and brakes.

smart idea? i think so. lemme know

Your idea sounds good to me. Might as well do some modifications (lowering & better struts) if your going to be replacing parts.

Dropzone makes springs for a gen 2?

By the way Tokico has cartridges for a gen 2, but you can only use them with non-sealed struts.

Ebay is your best bet to get a good deal on all suspension parts for your camry. they have lowering springs there for like 80 bux.

Tokico does not make lowering springs for a gen 2 or any Camry for that matter.

They do have struts for a gen 2 though. However their cartridges, so they'll only work if you have non-sealed struts.

They offer a spring / shock package.

I don't know if the springs are made by them or if their using someone elses spring.
