KYB struts are the OE manufacturer. Go to www.shox.com.<br><br>Koni are adjustable and cost an arm and a leg.<br><br>If you have a 1997+ Camry, Bilstein available from the dealership, or places like www.toyotaparts4u.com, etc.<br><br>tan

I have a 98 so does that mean I really need new struts or should the OE ones be sufficient. I don't plan on racing or worrying about the performance too much

When you add stiffer springs....new struts for the OE's are inevitable. The aftermarket KYB's are 15% stiffer than the OE's, and they handle up to a 1.5" drop. OE's don't know.<br><br>tan

Hey ryan, i got the same car,98, same situation....did you buy KYB GR-2 for ur camry? if so how did you get the fronts in? I thought they were under development? Cause i have only the rear. im dropping mine with eibach, how well does your strut handle your lowered springs??Im praying that the struts i have are better or stiffer then OEM.

Actually today I just ordered some Tokicos to go with my intrax springs. Since the intrax springs drop it 1.5" it does need a stiffer strut than oem or else I will bottom out on my rims. Tokico seem to be the prefered for our cars as far as I can see when I ask around. I'm not sure if the OEM struts are KYB or even how good they are so I can't help u there but if they are I will sell them and recoup some money. Generally everyone said buy new struts if you want to do it the right way so if the ones you bought are performance and capable of taking up to 1.2" drop you are giving it them you should have no problems. As for the stock ones--I don't know if they can handle it but generally they don't perform well when lowered. Otherwise--I'll let you know how my car is handling when I get them on. I can't wait
