well... koni does make shocks for the camry. if i remember correctly, they are for the gen 3 models (92-94) for the servicable strut models... on a general sense, i heard koni are kinda rough but are overall a good bargain for the money.

Koni in general is a well respected company with roots in Racing.. I would feel confident purchacing these over several other brands..

Koni yellows are the adjustible version... I've never tried them on a Camry, but on the Prelude they are very well respected, and are often the shock of choice if a full coilover for some reason cannot being considered..

Personally, I would choose Koni over Tokico any day, but be aware that these are quite stiff, they are not a "comfort-damper"

^ what he said

koni's are top notch and the best available for the camry- also the stiffest available as well

and yup, it's only available for the gen3 camrys that have serviceable unsealed struts

they only have the koni reds available for the camry if I remember correctly- ratko's camry had them

Does Tein make a Camry application? They are a full coilover but one of the best setups I have ever tried (again not on a Cam but all things being relative I would imagein they would be excellent on any car)
