save up a bit more money and get either the JIC or tein coilovers. I've had d2 and ksport before and they're not worth it IMO. Do it right the first time and you won't be disappointed.

yeah.. if you get d2/ksport you will end up spending more money anyway with all of the trouble they will cause you.

I have heard that D2 and K Sport coilovers are from the same manufacture. I also came across a brand called Blackworks coilovers, anyone know about these. I'm also looking to get coilovers and have a grand to spend or at least thats all I'm hoping to spend on coilovers. I know JIC are good, Megan's don't make any for our model and haven't looked into Tein.

Anyone heard of ISC Coilovers or Blackwork Coilovers? If I went with JIC's or Tein's, where can I get them for a low price?

Teins or JIC 4 me...and it fits 92-96 ES300 as well even if they are made for the 97-01 ES/Camry/Solara models. They have the same suspension geometry and I did my research too .

JIC's are going to cost you a grip. They used to be around 1100 and now the cheapest ive gotten quoted for was 1700 shipped. Tein will run around 1300-1400.

L-tunedparts.com sells JIC for $1,450.00, plus CA tax 9.75% and $45.00 shipping. I live in CA, so the tax I would have to pay. Also, found a place called THMotorsports selling JIC's for $1,580.00 and free shipping. I was hoping to spend about a grand on coilovers, only D2 and K Sport fall into that catagory. Decisions, hmmm...............
