They are OE on 90% of Euro vehicles.KYB quick struts are the best choice for your 2000 Camry
Sachs is good too, but only 2 of the 4 struts are in-stock at Rock Auto, though other sites may carry the Sachs quick struts.
Sensen is said to be a Chinese copy of KYB, but they don't last as long as the real thing.
The ones for my application are Made in Mexico. Don’t know if that’s good or bad..
That depends on quality control. Sachs follows manufacturers. BMW, VW/Audi etc. all make cars in Mexico. Suppliers will follow car manufacturers.
Are the shocks that they make for cars that are no longer produced (like my old Camry) built to the same standards as their current manufacturing standards for car brands? Genuine question.
I cannot tell you that. They are definitely premium shocks. I have Bilstein on my BMW bcs. upgrade in performance, but for example, I used Sachs shock mounts in front, and I track car.
That’s good to know! Ty
Tokico used to make performance dampers for Gen 3/4/5 Camry, I haven't seen a new set since pre pandemic
Uh oh, my wife is gonna be pissed that I learned this just nowTokico used to make performance dampers for Gen 3/4/5 Camry, I haven't seen a new set since pre pandemic
Gen 6+ had a TRD strut assembly available, God knows if there's any left
When I was 18 and stupid, I thought about TRD lowering springs (they were available at the time)
I settled for the TRD rear sway bar
If you want to add a front strut brace, stroll through your local salvage yards and look for similar vintage Solaras
They had a factory front sway bar that's easily modified to fit
Maybe find a supercharger kit and the TRD body kit, make your own fast Camry
As good as the rest of the aftermarket stuff. I used to live upstate Ny plenty of road salt etc my friend had the struts on his odyssey van they held up well. I had the shocks on my f150 they were great the ride was really nice. A long with some other suspension work it handled well also for a twin tube shock.

Tokico were good stuff I think the srt-4 neon had tokico from the factory
That’s true, srt did have a more aggressive dampening with firmer spring rates along with larger sway bars.base model Neons also had Tokico from the factory
Tokico was just an OE supplier like any other, supplying many mainstream cars from Chrysler, Mitsubishi, and Nissan, for example.
