G' day everyone, I have a 97 Te sedan that I'm about to put new suspension through, GT Gas front and rear and 2 inch lowered kings. Is there anything else I will have to do to it like castor kits or anything? or is it just a straight swap of old for new?. I was also wondering wether the head lights out of a kj I think, the ones that have twin lamps in the one surround with a clear/slightly smoky glass will these fit straight into the TE without to much stuffing around?

AFAIK the suspension will be fine, old for new. The head lamps you're talking about are called "parabolics" and are a direct swap from KJ to TE as well as interchangeable between all 3rd gen models pre TL I believe.

Dropping suspension by 2 inches may cause excessive camber. May require camber shims to add some positive camber back to prevent excessive wear on the inside of your tyres. Also, the Verada headlights will fit but you'll need to perform some minor modifications to the headlight wiring. Many on this forum have done this though.
Good Luck.
