Guess it's subjective, as to liking but some mechanic over at the toyota dealer has a real nice ride with the tokico, and he went through a few different types.

yea the ride is nice and smooth. but i went on a trip to myrtle beach with 5 ppl and luggage and it definetely weakened my struts a good bit in just one weekend. the car rolls a lot more in turns now. also if you have a system, same problem. get trd/blistein, trust me, ask around and people will agree

TRD struts should be stiffer,
tokico are great stock replacements though.
