Sorry guys but I'm desperate for some advice asap. I'm really tired from searching the forum: I had Kings spring Super lows installed today. I just need to know the best shock absorbers to replace my stocks with.

Can anyone help me? My stock shocks (especially in the rear) are absolutely stuffed. I was thinking KONI's but not sure on spending the money. I can't seem to find part numbers or proper advice for super lows for KYB's or anything else... :help: :help: :help: :help: :help:

I'm presuming it's a corolla so definately go with the Koni's over the KYB's. KYB's are basically an aftermarket replacement for the stock shock. Koni's are better in quality and also adjustable. they match very well to King springs both low and super lows.

Sorry my post isn't going to help really... but I'm just curious...

How come you didn't get shocks and springs installed together at the same time?

Hopefully you are installing it yourself or with mates otherwise yeah... you'll be forking more cash out

I've got KYBs in mine as replacements. Still pretty good but Koni's are way better as SB has stated though more expensive (hence I couldn't afford the extra moolah)

Thanks for your replies everybody. BUT it turns out my shocks are fine. I pulled my rear shocks apart tonight and discovered that the mechanic at sunshine tyre factory is a total idiot. He was using the wrong rubbers for bump stops and the outer shock guide thingies he actually left off.... I couldn't beleive it. Here i am an unqualified amateur who can put this back together better than some big commercial superstore. so relieved i fixed it. I'll def look at KONI's in the future but now I gotta worry about new tyres... not gettin adrenalin's again they didn't last long at all.

Oh and if you're wondering why i didn't get shocks fitted while i had the springs out was because i thought the shocks would be fine cos they've only done about 25,000 kays(and they are) as i've had D2 coilovers on the car for 35,000kays. so yeah i'm gonna wear these shocks out before upgrade...

thanks guys

      Boot Dimensions?

      Hi All, Greetings from the UK. I wondered if any kind folk could help me out. I am trying to get hold of some measurements for the boot/trunk of later model Fortuners. Does any know the height, min width (between the stowed 3rd seats) and the min depth from the 2nd row seat backs to the tailgate? Trying to work out if I can get all my luggage on board before I travel. Hope someone can help. Cheers KP

      2007 - Floor mat

      Original mats but in sandstone colour but you could possibly get them dyed a different colour. https://www.nunawadingtoyotaparts.com.au/toyota-camry-sandstone-carpet-mats-set-from-2006-t

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi. I am just reposting this here from the Camry section just in case the broader community might be able to help. I have a 2007 Grande which is still in good nick, except for the drivers floor mat. Normally it wouldn't be a problem to replace the floor mat but because it has the word CAMRY embroidered into the floor mat, I would like to replace it with the same again. I'm feeling reasonably confident that a Toyota dealership would just laugh at a request for another factory one so my question is, is it even still possible to locate an embroidered floor mat for my 17 year old car? If so, where? Or is there a business that will replicate the original?

      Front parking sensors

      We have a 2021 VX Prado with Toyota bullbar that is the doing same thing, the dealer did a patch under warranty which made no difference. The dealer now says they fixed it under warranty (by doing the patch) and there is nothing else they can do so if we want them to keep looking at it we will be paying for it. That is not our understanding of how warranty works and will be taking this matter further.

      Cruise Control Not Engaging

      Hi. My 2008 Rav 4 cruise control has not worked since I’ve owned it. When the on button on the stalk is pressed nothing happens, not green cruise dash light or anything. Previously, I’ve had a problem when the ABS, VSC and parking brake light all turned on but that was fixed by a brake light switch replacement. But the cruise still does not work. I’ve checked all the fuses and all are good. Is this a common issue and does anyone know why it’s happening. thanks
