Gen 6 Camry struts

Hi to everybody.

I need to change the struts of my camry but i don't know which strut is better the KYB or the Monroe. And I'm looking for some help in this decision. I have an 07 white xle with charcoal gray powder coated is 350 rims and emblems and trd suspension i hope to post some pics later. Thanks from Puerto Rico. And sorry if the english is not the best.

Just curious, how many miles are on your Camry to be changing the struts?

hey how are you? im also from puerto rico arecibo. im also planing soon to change my struts. there are not so many options for our cars, but theres one called kyb gr-2 series which are new and provides using others experiences a good almost stock ride with some more stiffness. i would recommend you to check it from toyota dealers, they sell them cuz they are autorized sellers. they cost around $300+.

i have a 2007 xle that i bought from dorado. check out my cardomain profile for more info about my car.

suerte y cuidate

That's the risk you take when dealing with ebay. In saving money, it is a risk I am willing to take.

So far, so good...

Other buyers may have no clue what they're buying until it breaks 1 year down the road (because it's a fake).

KYB and other places like Tein usually won't accept warranty claims if you buy them on Ebay.

You save like $25-$50, if the risk is worth it to you.

I have a 2003 Camry XLE and am looking to replace struts.

What exactly do you mean by "Coils" should I replace the struts and coils together?
