when to get new shocks?

A good oem replacement will be KYB GR-2
If you want stiffer feel get Tokico.

If you knew how damned stiff my Gabriels are you would not want any stiffer Struts... I think they hve been on a couple years now and they are still extremely stiff... They are big and beefy...

when I took off the old ones, I could push and pull them with 2 fingers the full length in and out for an hour...

The New Struts are so damned stiff I can push on the bumper with my whole body weight on one foot and barely move the car down 2 inches..



I kinda wish they were not so stiff, the ride could be smoother... plus I am not racing anything...

My still fresh Tokicos are not that bad.

How about the car squeaking every time I go over a bump? Not exactly Corolla; it's my Camry that's doing this.

Bilstein Touring Class shocks are also available they are the stock replacement type

$160 + special tools and your saturday = damn worth it if the only other option is $800.


3 bounces sounds right from a AAA pampthlet.

anyway, if it feels like your running over dead bodies all the time, good giveaway that your shocks are gone.
