4th Generation Suspension struts question and deal?

ok, im thinking of puting in aftermarket struts
the struts alone will have a difference in the car rite? i dont have to lower it with springs or anything to feel a difference?

TRD (rebadged Bilstein)
Tokico HP (full replacements)
http://www.toyotanation.com/faq/all_...prog=1&lang=en

wat is the difference between rebadged bilstein and full replacement?

i noticed tat the kyb gr2's for the gen 4 is not listed on the faqs. so wat are the gr2's considered? rebadged or full replacements?

also, my friend bought rear sets of the kyb gr2's for his 240sx. brand new for 50 dollars. i asked him to see if he can get some for my camry. im hoping for the same price? u think it would be relatively the same for camry? and if so. tats one heck of a deal rite?

wow, this is one long post, and lots of questions. sorry bout tat. im kind of a noobie. ish.

They say the TRD ones are rebadged Bilstein's because the company Bilstein makes the shocks for TRD and instead of having the Bilstein name it says TRD instead. They are still full replacement shocks. KYB GR-2's offer a more OEM like ride. Tokico HP's are what i just put in and i love them very stiff compared to stock but i also have the TEIN springs in. If your looking to get a stiffer ride out of it and have considered lowering it, I would just wait and do it all at once. Buy the shocks and then save up and get some good springs, Eibach, Tein whatever brand you prefer and then do the whole suspension at the same time. Otherwise you could put on the new shocks and go wow i really wish i had lowering springs too and now your looking at twice the work. Hope this helped.
