Hey guys, figured I'd make a thread to find out what you guys think (from experience). I've only installed KYB struts on my 7th gen, so those are the only ones I have experience with. I plan on driving my Pontiac Vibe (2003) and Lexus ES330 (2004) till the wheels fall off (nice not having a car payment).
They both have 160K-ish miles and they are riding on factory suspension. I plan on getting new struts/shocks next year and installing them and keeping the old springs (they have settled at a nice height). Do you guys have any recommendations? --------------------  2000 GT-S 6 SPD... SOLD! |

KYB, KONI, Sachs, and Bilstein. If you're just wanting an o.e. replacement then go KYB, as KYB made a lot of the factory struts and shocks for Toyota back then and probably still does.
