If this car was RWD it would have been a great move from Toyota. The one and ONLY thing I would change on that car is the shift **** and the steering wheel...but then again I'm a ricer

a couple people (like 3 tops) have done a supra drive train swap in these. I'm sure it's not worth the cost though.

So they converted it to RWD with a supra drive train? Why not just buy a supra and get a more reliable and better looking car for the same price?

OP: anything else done to it besides the supercharger? how much boost?

Solara = Camry.

I know there are lowering springs, are there some options on shocks?

How did you lower it?

I was looking at the new Solaras (well the 2008) because they looked pretty good, had decent DD power and comfort, and it was the last year so I could get a good bargain. But I heard issues with safety and reliability and got something else.

I still think one of the new Solaras in black with some 18's or 19's would look pretty damn good
