My fav. mod (seeing that I have practically none) would by my Razo pedals... they look nice and a lot classier (is that a word?) than just the black rubber.
1GR-FE ftw!

My Brembo Cross Drilled rotors and my HID kit. Many more mods to come but I'm going to stop because my new Silver Dinan M5 is my new love.

LOL. Now thats a real mod

My favorite mod has either been the supercharger or my dvd-navigation and sound system, although the SC ranks up there also

My favorite is the supercharger, then the exhaust, then the suspension(tokico/tein), and last but not least my system(which is the one I get the most use out of).

When you guys mention suspension as your fav mod... and how it handles better... what exactly do you mean? What can you do better?

I put better tires on my solara and found myself taking freeway offramps much faster...

Tires are a start, but a full suspension upgrade and you'll never go back.

The stock suspension is setup for luxury and it rides nice, but it is limited at higher speeds and tight corners. The tokico/eibach combo still provides a nice smooth ride but handles much much better. On the highway the ride is extremely stable and around corners it handles like a real sports car. It makes you forget the camry is a full size car weighing 3200lbs+

Search the forum and you'll find a lot of other peoples opinion on the suspension
