I'm thinking about replacing the struts on my 99 and found a set of 97 Camry Struts for sale in perfect condition that I'm considering. Please let me know the price is good. Thanks

Im not 100% sure on this but I think they will fit. Should be the same chassis type. You could check some part distributors and verify that the part #'s match. You could also call your local Toyota dealer and ask them. It's been so long since I bought my struts, but I do believe the application was for a 97-00 camry V6. Hope this helps.

tiguy99

Damn you're the guy with the setup I wanted! Ok ok....I'll try not to copy with the SC430 Rims but its gonna be hard! I already got the wheel covers (at least 3 months now...almost got the rims for 620.00 for a set of 4 but missed by like 3 secs at the end) Anyhow, I'll check the struts out and let you know

flipside909

Yes they're identical on the same exact chassis MCV20.

Nixsun79

hehe, I dont care if you have the same rims, I think they look great with the car and stay true with Lexus parts. Post some pics when you get it set up.

tiguy99

Thats cool. Will do. Hey guess what, I scored the struts for 31.00! How cool is that! Gonna get them installed this weekend along with my new strut tower brace. Is the handling really that much better using the brace vs. not using one?

Ohhhh *****%^&a!!! Hell Nawh. Look what this bastard wrote me just right now.... Scroll to the bottom

I know I can get this dude in some serious trouble right now. I'm super pissed off. I want my struts. What happend is that he saw how low the price was on the auction, probably got mad it wasn't what he wanted and then renigged at the end. Thats against the law. What advice can you guys give me?

lexusk8

That's too bad bro, sorry to hear you couldn't get the struts at that time. I'm not exactly sure how to address this particular repercussion on Ebay, but we have a lot of knowledgeable peeps in the Clubhouse forum, so you can try to create a new thread there addressing your problem and see what responses you get

tiguy99

I just gave him bad feedback and moved on. I'll have to buy them elsewhere. Perhaps another seller or here if the price is good enough

Nixsun79

man that sux about that shady ebay seller. Hope you get some luck...

Thought I'd drop a couple pics of the ride before and after drop, I had a couple people asking about it so I thought this thread would be a good place for em.

BEFORE - ARRGH WHELL GAP


After


Ill take some new pics soon. Got get the ride detailed again since spring is here

Hey bro, how do the Tein's ride compared to a stock setup? I obviously expect them to be a little more rough, but are they atleast tolerable or what?

Nixsun79

They ride pretty sweet. Corners are night and day, my girl has 99 ES3 Coach Edition stock, and I drive it every now and then. You can’t really tell the difference in ride quality. Only difference is when it comes to comers the drop handles so much nicer, of course, and the bumps… bumps are a bit bouncy but I expected that. I mean you dont look like one of those civic's bouncing down the road, you can just feel them more. One thing I can say if you do it, you will learn to hate speed bumps with a passion.

W. David

Good to know....thanks for the reply. I just noticed you're running KYB's too...I am considering both those and the Tokico HP's....from what I've read the Tokico's are a little more of a rough ride than the KYB's....so given your praise of the KYB's, I'll keep them in mind. how long have you had your spring/strut setup? Any problems to speak of?

tiguy99

I'm searching some yards on car-parts.com and see a few good deals. Then again, Nixsun79, I saw your struts on Ebay for like 213 before shipping buy it now. I'm thinking instead of just getting the front right and rear right (ones causing most trouble) I'd go for a whole set. But lately, I've been strapped for cash....hmm what to do what to do? Thank God I don't have the adjustable suspension. I hear those are an arm and a leg

Nixsun79

I've had the setup for 2yrs, no problems.
