Will they work on the 92-96 Camry V6?? This could finally be the solution to the front fender gap, at a $1,000+ price though.

That's actually an average price for good coilovers. Coilover setups for the IS, GS and etc range from 900 all the way up to 2500 depending on the brand. It's great that someone even offers coilovers for the Camry/ES platform to begin with so price shouldn't be an issue for a good suspension setup.
