Well, they pop out, but its an issue with the struts, not the springs. Mine popped out and I am still stock...they got replaced by Toyota. However, I think one of my rears is popped again.

Yes they do, but if you can upgrade struts too its even better.

Anybody know where I can purchase the GR-2s for our Solara's cheap? Do we also need to purchase the mounts or can we use the stock Toyota?

i am not 100% sure, but i believe if you use gr-2 you can use oem strut mounts. but since you changing the strut might as well get the new kyb strut mounts.

yes they work for stock se struts

I was actually really interested in these, but then fellow SGers said that with an SLE's stock struts, lowering springs would be a bad idea.

but it's all i got the dough for

The ride with stock struts is tolerable, just a little bouncy. I've been sporting the non sport struts for a while now and will continue to use them till they go out.

No camber kit is needed. That is why TRD made modest drop instead of bigger drops like with other aftermarket springs.

Yeah that's what I was thinking when I was talking to a friend about it. Just wanted to make sure.
