Introduction and question

Introduction and question

Postby Solarizona » Tue Oct 03, 2006 3:20 pm

Hey everyone. I’ve been lurking around for some time now and thought I’d finally introduce myself. I just bought a 2002 DWP SLE on Saturday and freakin’ love it. I had a 1999 silver SLE before that, but it was stolen then salvaged hence the new one.

Now I already have a question I need some help with. I bought Tokico struts and Eibach springs for the ’99 but the car was stolen before I had the chance to put them in. Before I bought the ’02 I was told the struts would fit; now I’m being told that they won’t. I’ve checked with 4 different local shops including a dealer and no one can give me a positive answer. So, does anyone know if they’ll fit? If not, what are people using for the 2002’s? Thanks.

Welcome :D

There's really only cosmetic changes from the 99-01 and 02-03. Headlights, front bumper, grille, corner lights, and I believe some minor interior changes.

Welcome to SolaraGuy; sorry to hear about your old ride, but glad you decided to stay with the Solara. The suspension would fit, and to explain what 00seV6man said, the taillights are a direct replacement if you're interested.
