So i wanna change the front struts but i don`t know which brand to choose ... so i am just looking for a good ride but also strong stuff for my driving

so any advices ? But i my also need to replace the strut mounts and i only found that KYB makes them so if i Get the Tokico struts would it be a problem with the fitting ? ( KYB mounts and Tokico struts ?)
THANK YOU

I don't mean to be rude but this has been covered soooo many times. SEARCH for other's opinions already posted regarding this dilemma.

Tokico's better i think from what i've heard

I thought KYB AGX is best shocks?

Well if you dunno, always good idea to stick with TRD~
I have BRAND NEW J.D.M. TRD Suspension Set for sale ... 4 shocks 4 springs for GEN4 ... still in KYB factory box (TRD Japan produce suspension from KYB factory)

ohhhz.........i don't think they sell TRD suspension for the Gen 5......at least i haven't seen or heard. yeah the only KYB they make for the Gen5 is the GR-2 which i hear isn't so good.

i have TRD springs with KYB GR-2 i think is pretty good

TRD are KYB GR-2???? Hmmmm, just bought some from Nopi for cheap, maight have to order some TRD Springs, who makes those??

I still think tokicos are better. They last a long time in my experience. I roll KYB GR-2 on the camry with stock spring and Tokico Illumina C/O on my jetta. Of course the adjustable C/O own the KYB GR-2. Not sure about AGX though

Thanks for using the faq. :rollseyes:

KYB's will be softer than Tokico's and the lower profile you go the harsher
the ride.

Tokico but more costly.

i think TRD springs = eibach.

$350 isn't too bad... yeah TRD Springs = Eibach

not sure about the struts being the GR-2 or the AGX. I'd rather have Tokicos just because i hear it's better
