just a reminder, very important that you support the axle carrier w/ something. i used the jack that came w/ the car, so you can move it up and down to make the install a little easier. as long as the axle carrier doesnt drop when you unhook all the strut bolts, you're gonna be ok.

It sounds like you are talking about a TRD RSB with street and "race" (track) settings

no, I am talking about the tokico strut. I know like KYB you can adjust the dampning level. It has a dial for you to adjust. But is this strut will take care the clunk noise??

our tokicos arent adjustable. tokico makes adjustable ones, but they didnt make em for our cars.

If you are going to upgrade I would get the Tokico. The blistens are notoriously too stiff. Seems that the Tokicos provide a great median between performance and confort
