Today my mechanic tried installing my Goodridge SS Brake Lines on my '98 4cyl Camry (w/o ABS). After they installed the front lines, they looked at the rear lines included with the kit and concluded that they wouldn't fit. I called up Tirerack, spoke with a customer service representative, and explained the situation... Turns out that Goodridge doesn't make SS lines for Camry's w/o ABS, so Tirerack gave me a credit of 50% of my total order. Now that's great customer service! I thought for sure I'd be stuck for the entire cost since the front lines had already been installed (and I couldn't return them). I've always been very happy with them in the past, but the way they handled this situation really impressed me!
I got my KYB struts, boots and Brembo OEM style rotors there, unbelievable prices, superfast shipping, very friendly, excellent website. I often buy tires there as well. All thumbs up!

How much did you pay for the struts? And, are they inserts or the whole strut?

I paid $72 ea front & $57 ea rear, for whole strut, GR-2 gas type. I didn't drop the car, I don't think they're good for more than 1" drop, specs say 1.5" drop.

They may have good prices on wheels and tires, but $50 for brake rotors? I got mine for $15 a piece! I will admit they have good prices else where, but where in the hell do they get their rotors from? Directly from Toyota? Most expensive I found round here are $25 per rotor.

But are we talking about standard rotors of performance rotors (crossdrilled / slotted)?
If you're referring to standard rotors, I'd get them at a local store like Autozone. Performance rotors, I'd check the Internet; only because I have yet to see any local vendor here that offers a good price for performance rotors.
Originally posted by 5Sfte So, $258 in total? That's not bad. Thanks for the info. I am seeking new struts as you can tell. What do you think of the ride quality over stock?
KYB GR-2 Ride quality much better than stock, firm but not punishing. Even much better than new stock.
