As far as I am aware, Hotchkis is the only company who has camber products for our car. For sways, I would say hotchkis. I have these on my car, and you can tell a huge difference. I believe that the only other sway is the TRD, and it is only the rear bar. For coilovers, I would have to go with H&R. I have not had any experience with these coilovers, but I know from H&R's reputation, that they make superb coilovers for porsches. I think that as of now, only TRD makes aftermarket struts, although I could be wrong.

I think that you missed strut bar, which on our car might not do anything, but if your going to be racing, it might help a little. For the strut bar, I would go with the DC strut over the hotchkis. I have felt both, and to me the DC bar felt more sturdy. There is also a tannabe bar I think, but I havn't felt that one.

My sigs a little misleading, I took off the stock springs and shocks for TRD parts, my stock sways I took off because I replaced them with the Hotchkis sways. *editing sig right now*
There were 2 reasons that I did this, 1. when I bought the car, these were the only suspension products offered, and 2. at the time I was looking for suspension parts, coilovers were way too expensive for me. I didnt use any camber links because the drop from the TRD didnt need them. Ultimatly, I'm not a racer by any defininition so hardcore suspension upgrades such as coilover are basically overkill for me.

exactly, the H&R coilovers are very expensive, but you said you were looking for "The Best", so I just wrote down who I though made the best parts.

COOL

I really appreciate your opinions and reviews.

Anyone have adjustable camber kits yet?

Stronger Front and Rear Tie Rods... or even bushings?

I am also considering engine dampeners(sp) I've only seen one kit so far.
