Tokico vs TRD
I read somewhere that the Bilstien struts are the siffest. Does that mean that the TRD struts are stiffer than Tokico's?

FYI: TRD doesn't rebrand blishtien struts anymore. For a while even blistien stopped making them for our cars..but then last year all this places started offering them. Yes blisten are more stiffer than tokico's, tokico's are like stock..with a lowered stance! You know your lowered when you go over bumps and visually..other then that..its still same OEM ride comfort in tokico's. With bilsten you can feel the road a bit more...

you also need to account for offset of the rims.

Here's an explanation of offset :

If you're not sure what the best offset is, consult a reputable rim retailer.
