As for the ride getting stiff, maybe the Camry's overall suspension design can handle the stiffer KYBs & H&Rs. The Rav4's OEM setup is already stiff that's why ramdam na ramdan ko ang difference - hehe.

Tokico does cater to other brands too... you can try asking Speedyfix if they can source out Toxico shocks for you though.

Edit:

Here's KYB AU's website, the parts available there are also the ones here in the PH:

I tried looking for your Camry, but wala for your model...

For the US available KYB... here are the part numbers:

SM5423 (front) & SM5175 (rear)

Thanks Bro. I contacted Speedyfix and he's getting me KYBs. I just have to tell him when I can drop by to have them installed so he can pre-order them. But yeah, my shocks aren't listed in the AU website. I wonder what Speedy's fixing me up with. Hehehe!

i don't like the tokicos as much as kyb's... they tend to break sooner. the only tokicos i like installing are the illuminas. hehe!

The Tokico's? Break they did. Right front shock was dead. Right rear shock was dying (slow to rebound). Left shocks were still rebounding, but not as quickly as the new ones. Ironic, I drive alone most of the time, and we're a left-hand driving country! This after 2 years. (1.5 on lowering springs and .5 on stock springs) Tsk Tsk! The original Tokico set before this one lasted 2.5 years on stock springs. Ganun na lang ba katibay ang gawang Thailand?

Got KYBs now. Excel-G, made in Japan. Unfortunately, not from speedyfix (sorry speedy, i appreciate your quick reply and accommodation. Wasn't quick enough to react to my Dad's move to source them out for me tho.) I wonder how long these will last. And like what some posters mentioned, medyo matagtag sila, especially now that I'm re-learning on how to drive with lowering springs, having been on stock ones the past half year. Based on my re-learning experience yesterday tho, nabawasan na ng konti yung tagtag. Ah, how your tolerances get recalibrated in favor of better looks and handling. Hehe!

Thanks for all the help guys!
