Anyone know where I can still find these for the 2000 v6 application? After my last accident, I bent my strut and need to replace it. I only need one for the front and there is a possibility that TRD no longer carries this in stock. Can anyone help?

TRD said they discontinued them about a year and a half ago. I called Bilstein and they don't have anything either. The dealer said he found stock somewhere on the east coast but they can't find it in the stock room. Lol this sucks. Tokico doesn't have adjustables for the Solara do they? Just the regular performance Shocks and not the Illuminas. Weak. How are the tokico ones? Do you know who else makes Struts for the 2000 Solara?

KYB, but Tokico gets the thumbs up from just about everyone here. Tein and JIC make Coils if your looking for adjustables.

The KYB's are the Premiums - OEM replacements. Tokico HP's - $411 for all four. I wonder if they will fit the TRD Springs. The TEIN SS coils are $1215. Damn...

TRD springs are made by Eibach. Many people around here have the Eibach/Tokico combo, and I think it was the most popular combo way back when, before Tein springs became popular here.

Oh really. didn't know Eibach made the springs. I knew Bilstein for the struts and TSW for the rims. Wonderful. I'll put in my order for the struts if Toyota says no Bilsteins tomorrow.

I am on bilstein as well. If this set goes, I will have to switch to coilovers.

The Tokico is probably too soft for my taste.

I just ordered the Tokico's for $340 shipped from Matt @ Motorsports direct. Do a search for his phone #. Don't think you will find them for cheaper than that anymore, Matt said Tokico had a price increase in April.
