koni shocks/struts

[gen4cam]

does anybody have koni struts on their camry? which type of struts do you recommend for my camry 1997?

[speedemn]

I personally have answered this at least twice before for you, Vernon.

Here's the choices you got:

KYB
Tokico
Koni

Price is higher for the later ones, but quality is that much better. So look at your budget first and then decide.

Your Camry? You mean your moms Camry and I don't think she'll be to happy when she finds out that you've changed the struts on her car.

I have a gen3 i4 and does anybody notice that the car feels alot lower when there's a full car? What springs and shocks would u guys recommend if i'm goign to install a bodykit and i have a full car and i don't want scraping? I may later install 17'' rims but as of now i have stock hubs.

[speedemn]

Yes a full car is about 600 lbs heavier... about 750 lbs if you have 5 people)... OF COURSE the car will look lower!

As far as springs and struts (not shocks) you have a few choices...

springs: H&R, Eibach, Intrax, Sprint
struts: Koni, Tokico, KYB

It all depends on how much money you want to spend.

Wow, you guys must be small. With 4 of my friends in the car, we could be at around 850lbs, including me. We're our "average" weight for our heights too! Hehe.

How do you know it's Vernon? Where is he these days? I miss those car wreck pics....

[Flipside909 [SC³]]

Vernon? Where? HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA! LOL

[speedemn]

That was just an example of 4 Chinese guys since most of you are just that

I'm not and I do weigh quite a bit more than one, but not a 200 lb+ fatty like you I guess :wink:

Well, I am Chinese and I do weigh around 175lbs. That's the average for a 6ft person last time I checked. Most of my guy friends are around my height or a little taller/shorter and weight ranges from 155-200lbs, depending on which friend. So... I guess I'm not considered a 200+ fatty then, huh? Btw, be a little considerate too. There's nothing wrong with being 200+ in the first place, k? Even though I'm not in that boat, I still find it offensive to call others "fatty" unless you're a friend and you're just joking around.

Chill man... everyone on this forum that knows me, knows that I kid around all the time. I have respect for everyone and there is nothing wrong with being big/small/tall/short/fat/skinny. Its all good. Get to know me and you'll know that too.

Anyways....
So does anybody else experience constant scarping on driveways and parking lot ramps with 4 (140) people in their cars?

[speedemn]

No... never... and I have 130 lbs worth of subs in my trunk weighing the back down big time. Tokico + H&R Sport combo here.

Just in 1 plaza in Waterloo, I did scrape but I don't know what f***ing moron designed those speed bumps! Those a f***ing hurdles like the ones I jump over in track! Another place is at my friend's house downtown... the access to the driveway from the pavement wasn't really made... its pretty much like jumping the surb. I scrape there too, but I scraped there when I was stock as well.

Sorry about that Anish... I get defensive about that since I had a cousin who went through a lot of crap cuz he was overweight when we were young. My bad...
