Intrax springs/KYB GR2 sealed struts.

OEM Strut Mount.

Like springs, hate struts.
Why? They KYB wear out too easily, rather get tokicos.

Likes / Dislikes


Spring (Brand) = TRD. A lot firmer than stock, nice drop - almost not noticeable, unless you know it is there, but handles a lot better. Noisier than stock too.

Likes / Dislikes


Upper Strut Mounts (Brand) = OEM currently, tried KYB. Both have clunking and knocking noises in my car, KYB being worse compared to OEM with TRD insulator.

Likes/Dislikes


Recommend Them? = Yes, especially if you are lucky and have no knocking and clunking noises. Firmer than stock, nice ride on the highway, quite bumpy over city potholes (partly due to 215/50-17 tires at about 35 psi)
(Spring/Strut Combo)

What are you looking for from your spring strut combo? I can tell you what i like, and others can tell you what they like...but you need to figure out why you want springs and sturts.
On a side note...only get tokicos. Have had a bad experiance with KYB and no longer carry them.

2000 Camry, 4cyl

Struts: Tokicos
Springs: Vogtlands (1.5 front and back)

Likes/Dislikes: Rides like a dream. Much firmer than stock. Either the struts or springs are a bit noisy though, I'm not sure which. Drop on the vogs are hardly noticeable but performance is great.

Really the drop isn't noticeable? I thought the dro on the vogs were supposed to be more notieceable than Eibach and H&R
