Replacement shocks - camry xv30

[K.I.L.L.]

Never encountered fake KYBs so far. Toyorama is on the Banawe side that is near E. Rod. already. It's to the left side if you're going to E. Rod. Parking there is a bit iffy though so best to have a someone with you to wait with your car or as suggested before, park at Puregold in E. Rod then walk to Banawe. For the install, Toyota did it for us when it was brought for service. Your suking Servitek/suspension shop should be able to do it also.

Ah... Thanks man. I'll drop by and get the parts and keep it for next time when I need to have my shocks replaced.

You're welcome. I'm actually surprised the cost of consumable parts for this Camry model isn't too far off from my 'Rolla either. If you have the rear power seats, the shop may also have a little trouble removing the rear shocks if they're not familiar with how to remove/disassemble the rear seatback that's why we ended up having Toyota doing the shock change at the rear (the labor charge was acceptable anyway).

I got to dig up my old quote from Toyorama from a few months back. It's P 3,750* for the front and P 3,700* for the rears (KYB). Wala pang tawad yun. In contrast, Toyota quoted P 10,200* for the rears and P 8K+ each for the fronts.

I do have the rear power seats. One doesn't work anymore though probably from lack of use since no one ever sits in the back.

By the way, my front driver's power seat is not totally working and my airbag light is on all the time now. Aside from Toyota, where would you recommend to have this serviced? I hope there's a competent garage out there aside from Toyota.

On the power seats, try inquiring with a upholstery shop like seatmate or maybe Jemson, the electrician at Banawe (you'll see his thread on these forums also).

Yup I have read his thread. I'll try to drop by his stall in the coming weeks when I make my way to QC. Thanks man!
