Whiteline rear sway bar for the 92-96 Camry should work:

Are you looking for a strut bar or sway bar? I'm assuming strut bar to install in the trunk correct?

Weapon R = garbage.

Sways, for the MCV10 chassis 94-96, you only have one choice, Whiteline.
MCV20 97-01, you can use the TRD Rear Sway for the Camry/Solara or Whiteline. I wouldn't recommend the front sway for the ES simply because it's a front heavy FWD car. You will only make the understeer worse with a front sway bar. Just stick with a rear sway.

Tower bars, the TRD Strut Tower Bar designed for the Solara will work on any MCV20 chassis vehicle i.e. Camry & ES300. That's your only choice for name brand. Keep in mind, with any front strut bar added to the engine bay, you have to cut into/modify the hood insulation in order for it not to rub on the bar when it's shut.

How do i install the strut bar? i know there are 3 bolts on the strut tower, and obviously i have to unbolt them but, do i need to do anything prior to unbolting these? i wont F*** up my suspension just leaving the car parked w/ the e-brake on (i dont have to jack up the car or anything?)
