slstsang Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 is KYB top of the line?? what about the cheap monroe? what kind of strut mounts should i order??? KYB is stock, tokico is stiff, monore is like a caddy = boat I didnot order strut mounts for my new struts, my car is a 92 and it is still fine. however, you much change the strut bumper and bellow. what year es300 do you have?

Toysrme Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Ya, rockauto pretty well kills alot of chain stores. Even with shipping. & Sometimes you can find coupons for them in online searches. :) KYB-GR2's are stock. Aftermaret KYB-GR2's are even better. Tokico blue's are love/hate & years ago there was a question of themb lowing out on really stiff springs. (IDK what happened with that. I guess they fixed them?) Monroe sensatrack "level 2's" (They come in 1-2-3, no idea what they call them) Are "comperable" to a stock ES/Camry's KYB-GR2. That's the OEM replacement on Caddies. In other words... They're likely crap for dampening. Just ebay some KYB-gr2's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mechanic who looked at , didnt even test drive it, but said it was my struts!? stand in front of the struts, use both of your hands press it down real fast and real hard, if it sinks in real fast and doesn't bounce right back, yup, it's the struts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
