TRD Springs & Tokico Struts?

TRD Springs & Tokico Struts?

Postby buddha » Thu Jan 16, 2003 9:45 pm

Just wanted some opinions on this:

I have TRD springs on stock struts and am looking to buy a set of aftermarket struts. Are the Tokico struts compatible with TRD springs? Will I have to buy new springs (Eibach) if I decide to upgrade my struts. I appreciate any suggestions you can give me.

TRD don't make struts anymore.
Tokico is the best.
You don't have to buy another springs. :o

Try the search function on top right corner before posting.. Trust me there are lots of good info in this forum.

Do research before you modify your car.

Best way to do it is to use the search function.

TRD = Eibach springs

Bilstein no longer makes struts for TRD. The next best thing will be Tokico.

Wait, isn't the drop for the TRD springs and the Eibach springs different? I remember reading somewhere that Eibach is 1.6" and the TRD is 1.75" in the front and 1.25" the rear.

Thats just a difference of how they reported them. They are the same spring (Eibach pro kit) Each car drops a little differently.

TRD = Eibach.

My TRD spring has both TRD and Eibach logos stamped on them.
