Gen1 Camry/Avalon

I know that the Camry suspension parts work with the Avalon, my questions are:
1) Does it matter if it is a 4cyl vs a 6cyl?
2)With a 95 Avalon, I know I can use parts for up to a 98 Avalon(I think), what about the Camry? Can I only use 95 Camry parts?
3) Would Headers/Exhaust/Air intake/Strut bar, any kind of Chip, for the Camry work on the Avalon also?

In case it is not clear, I have a 95 Avalon Xl, Thanks for any help

There is no "chip" for the car.

OBX headers/y-pipe will work from a Gen 4 Camry/Gen 1 Solara

SRI will work (but not sure what type of MAF your car has, if it;s the Gen 3 or 4 style.

Exhaust won;t work as the Avalon is longer, so the exhaust would be too short.

Strut Bar will work

TRD or Whiteline Rear Sway Bar from a Gen 3/4 will work.

Thanks, now I have seen clear bumper lights on an Avalon on Cardomain, and I have been searching for those and a bodykit with no luck, any ideas?

I am getting clear front parking lamps for my avalon from ebay.com.au so they match the newer style headlights without the orange reflector inside. The Australian avalons come that way.

Hey Skynet, I searched that site and didn't see any, where did you find them and how much do they cost?

You can find a body kit for the 4-door Camry, but it will have to be fitted.

I was looking into this, now what year would I have to get? I am looking now for some springs and struts, a SRI( I was wondering if CPE makes one for the camry that I could use, but the problem would be the MAF, I will look into that), and a upper strut bar. If any one has any of these item that you are thinking of selling, hold them for a little longer and PM me, so I can get some money together....

Basically, a Camry from the same year as your Avalon should work fine.

if ur gonna spen 140 on rotors u might as well buy em from a webiste that sells em instead of a private seller on ebay because its somewhat of a more secure transactions being its you and the distributor

but thats in my opinion

Sounds good to me, any suggestions? Also BigLu, do you know anywhere in Miami where I can get some OE wheels at a good price? And for anyone else, I know I saw a toyota with Infinity wheels on it, what other car uses the same bolt pattern as the Avalon, and what type , if any, issues may you encounter?

the bolt pattern is 5.114 and offset is like 35-45 i believe so the possibilities are ENDLESS. personally, i think g35 coupe rims on an avalon would look sick. the problems we may encounter is pretty much spacing which spacers could fix. im not sure how the work so i can't help you out. the 4cyl parts problem will they're spring rates are lighter because the 4cyl is lighter then the v6 camry and our avalons are even heavier then the camrys so our drops will most likely be a lil more then advertised. bigluigi i have the same intake in mine =].
