gen 3 and gen 4 suspension the same? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I've been looking at tokico shocks for my girlfriend's 2001 camry and I've noticed that the 92-95 shocks were about $100 cheaper. Is there any difference between these than the 2001 tokico shocks? They have different part numbers but I was searching around TN and people have said it worked. I just need to know for sure if everything would bolt right up.

I believe Gen 4 fits on Gen 3 but Gen 3 needs a small modification to fit on Gen 4. I'm a newb, so I could be way wrong.

You're right. I believe they are interchangeable. King springs for the Gens 3 and 4 are the same. The shocks may vary.

I was thinking it was the springs that are the same but the shocks are what need modified.

what kind of modifications are we talking about regarding the shocks?

Here again, I'm a complete newb with this car but I want to say it has something to do with removing a tab of some sort. I would highly suggest reading through the suspension topic that's been going on lately.
