so i know that the 97-03 camry suspension will work for the solara as well, but i haven't seen any D2 coilovers for sale for solara. i was wondering if this would work on my 99 SLE solara?

any help would be appreciated.
thanks.

My fronts were tuckable with 225/40/18.

The rears have more than enough to spin to be tucking 18" tire and RIM.

If you've got 19s, then you're set.

yea i have 19X9.5 in the back. tried them on today, and the size is just right, although i need to play around with some spacers to be able to clear the shocks. also, waiting on the member to response back with shipping price so i can send him the money.

^Forreal. Hope you're going to doing some serious tire stretching and/or fender molesting.

thats the plan... i have 19X9.5 with +34 offset and a 25mm spacers in the back, and the front is just 19X8.5. im waiting to get my coilovers and the decide whether im going to stretch tires or not. negative camber will be my first solution, which bring me to ask if you guys have any info on camber kits?!

Negative camber with a 9.5" width in the rear will only do so much, you're going to be banging the fenderwell in no time if only reliant on that.

As far as camber kits, I have SPC camber bolts in the rear (had fronts too, but sold them to Lee337), and am using the camber plates on my Megan Streets for the front.

9.5 in the rear is super tough man. Stretching is the only way for them to fit. Probably a super stretch with 225s. Also, as you put negative camber on your rears, the inside of your wheels get closer to the shocks. Its pretty tight in the rear.

just a fyi. cant wait to see this tho.
