KYB Gr-2 for comfort,

Tokico if you want performance.

Tokicos or KYBs.

Tokicos are definitely perceived as the better of the two for performance.

As far as comfort, I've never ridden in a Camry with KYBs, gut Eyeball96 has Tokicos on one coupe and KYBs on the other and he has said that the Tokicos are smoother than the KYBs.

I'm running Tokicos on my 95 V6 and I find them to be perfectly comfortable.

Just my .02

Tokicos are better if you're looking for better performance and handling. If you're looking for cushy factory ride, then OEM is better.

The tokico's are better with the H&R's...I'm pretty sure KYB's are OEM...could be wrong...but thats what my mechanic says anyways....so if ur not going lower, stay with the KYB's if u want to maintain the OEM ride.

Not to hijack this thread or anything, it seems the general consensus is to go tokico.

I have a question though...don't laugh. Could someone point out to me where exactly the struts are located on a gen3 Camry? I tried looking...can't find the struts on my car! Lol, thanks.
