Does anyone know any good simple upgrades i could do with my new 2000 Solara. I was looking into the Apexi WS2 exhaust of the TRD exhaust, which is better. How about suspension Tokico and what kind of springs should I use. Does the factory strut brace work good, or should I get a different one.

The trd exhaust is just the muffler, I'd go with the WS. The suspension, alot of people on this board use the eibach/tockico set up, which i also use. Along w/ the spring/struts...i also have the TRD rear sway bar, which makes the car feel alot different.

There is quite a bit you can do. I'd try looking through aftermarket upgrades section, which is what I did to see all that's out there.

Postby SleeperSolara » Wed Jun 16, 2004 4:01 pm

Which gives you better handling: Eibach or Intrax or H&R or B&G??
Where can i get some TRD sway bars??
Is the stock strut bar/brace good as it is stock, or should i get a different one. Where can i get some slotted/drilled brake rotors; which ones are the best??
Where can i get some white face gauges??
How do i fix my 6cd changer; the problem: when i start the car the cd trays move, but i can't stick a cd in the player; how do i fix that, is there a reset button on the back of the cd player of what.
