Are TRD struts a lot better then Tokico struts? since they cost twice as much as Tokico set. Are they too harsh and will be uncomfortable for everyday driving?
I am still deciding on which one I should get.. Tokico or TRD.
I've had them for almost a year now and like them a lot. I think the difference with the Bilstein is that it compresses upward, thus having a mono-tube design, whereas typically, the rod compresses downward. That's how I remembered it from reading Bilstein's website. They are/were definitely worth it.

Got my TRD struts from GB as well. All I can say is they're amazing! I was expecting a bumpy harsh as hell ride but it didn't turn out that way at all. It's great for everyday driving and also high performance driving. But I'm using the stock rims/tires though, so I'm not sure how bumpy it would be with larger rims.

Buddy, you should have gone with the GB if you want TRD, it took me a while to decide too, but if you want to get TRD struts now, it would cost you a lot. Last time I checked with a dealer here, they coded like $2000 CDN. Tokico should be fine unless you really want the TRD. You can email this guy see if he still accept one more order, his alias is 98Toyozip, email: bmw53_us@yahoo.com
I just bought the TRD struts from eBay, however, it doesn't come with the "isolator kit" people mentioned ealier. Does anyone know where I can get it?
I have a 2001 Camry
ok ok ok here's the story main reason i cant use these TRD (INSERTS) is cos i have sealed in my gen 3!!! my car is a 4T1 Vin which means my cam is from kentucky not japan like most of u guys... the one im selling is the TRD inserts not struts.. i already bought a new set of struts for my car and no longer need these struts cos they wont fit in anyways.... but these are for the gen 3 with non sealed struts... check haynes they do come with sealed for the gen 3
Yes, we are aware that there are serviceable and non-serviceable struts on the Gen3, but just not TRD inserts for the Gen3. Only inserts that I know for Gen3 are from Koni and Tokico.
well they have it for the gen 3 as well mine was from TRD japan i have jdm TRD's and they only have inserts for the gen 3 no struts... and this was only recent i just bought these in april... now problem is after 2000 they stopped making the strut assembly version so they just kept the inserts that's why i have the inserts from TRD
