Yes, except if the struts on the later years of ES have adjustable comfort controls.

I dont think my ES has that cause there are no plugs that plug into the strut and no buttons inside my car to control it.

Tokicos don't ride stiff especially the HP series. Illuminas and etc..yes those are stiff. But they don't make those for the Camry platform.

Is it a direct replacement between Camry and ES ?
Is there modification required?
The JIC coilover seem to require a little modification. The upright is wider than the gap between the twin vertical mounting plate on the strut by about 1/16 of an inch.
I did get a confirmation that the JIC coilover between Camry and ES300 97-01 have the same part number.
So we are going to make it fit by widening the twice vertical plates a bit.

Seems like a few here know a lot about struts, so I will ask this here. What strut offers the softest, smoothest ride? I am trying to decide whether or not to get the original Toyota struts from the dealer, or get Monroe sensa-tracs. I have heard that the Monroe sensa-tracs are the softest riding aftermarket strut. Anyone else have any opinions? What strut would have a softer ride- the factory Toyota strut, or the Sensa-trac from Monroe? Toyota struts are $135. each and the Monroes are $77. each for the rear and $89. each for the front. Thanks.

That is correct. The Sensatracs do handle alot better than stock format struts.
