Any places online that sell them pretty cheap?

Yeah, I am going with the Tokico blue.. $680.00 CAN Shipped. (National Tire Wholesale in Delta B.C.)

Best price around... My mechanic priced me out at over $800.00 without install..

Thanks!

I heard tokicos shocks are much stiffer then the KYB's...the only shocks that are made for gen 3 in KYB is the GR-2..which is the cheaper one....originally i wanted the KYB AGX'S but they dont make them for my car...so that dream was shot...then i wanted the the Tokicos Illumina(the 5-way adjustable ones) and they dont make them for my car either. So now i am going to get the Tokico Blue...and the cheapest i found them for was $370u.s. Maybe we should try to get a groupbuy for the Tokico Blues!!! What do u guys think..

Mike,

That is where I got my mags.. nice to see some more pimped camry's in the delta area

Careful with NTW though.. they told me lots of shit like I need a camber kit and this and that.. I told them to fuck off. I also had to go back 3 times to get the mags weighted properly... and now that I did a front to back tire rotation (they are uni-directional) the vibration is back (I only got the front ones rebalanced when i went back)

Ok guys.. this has been talked to death but anyway... I have an I4 94... now when I look at the NOPI.COM site they don't differentiate between the V6 and the I4.. are they the same?

I don't really care if I get KYB or Tokico cuz everyone says that they are the same. All I know is I need something cuz my car is beggining to get bouncy with stock struts and H&R lowering

Also my car has the worst noise from the back struts when going over bumps... is this the struts (it is not the springs cuz those are new and it happend with the stock ones also) Or is this something else? Do I need new bushings?

I am in for a group buy if we can get a good price

maybe I should also get the whiteline sway bar... I almost lost control and was fish tailing so bad (back and forth at least 5 times) during and emergency situation... going 110KM per hour down hill then I had to hit the breaks and swerve... I guess nothing could help in a situation like this anyway

what do you guys think?

Thank you!!!!
