Lowered suspension specifications

[flybigjet]

For those who were needing this information- these are the numbers I used for my '99 Solara SE V-6. Installed componants included TRD front strut brace, TRD rear sway bar (track setting), Whiteline front sway bar, Energy Suspension bushings/brackets, Eilbach springs, Bilstein shocks, 17x8 wheels and 225/45/17 tires. In order to adjust properly, struts were slotted to allow for camber adjustment (although I believe there's now a kit available to do this). All settings were done by hand as a normal 4-wheel alignment computer was, to put it mildly, confused by the lowered suspension setup. It made a night and day difference; car handling is now extremely neutral- *significantly* different from just having the car dropped onto the lowered suspension; it also solved a few minor abnormal wear problems I was having with my tires.
