TRD Coilovers?!? Do you have em'?

does anyone else have these? i'm just wondering if your ride might be as harsh as mine? what is your take on these? i was thinking about spending some $ and getting the TEIN set. they have "damper" and "ride height" control--as opposed to just "ride height" w/ the TRD's! what do you think? and if you have the TEINS, what do you think about them? i was quoted $1250, what you get yours for?

I've ridden in Matrices w/ both setups. I found the TRD's very rough. The Tein SS's on the other hand ride as smooth as stock.

yeah the TRD's are completely height adjustable! as opposed to the springs that most people get in which are not addjustable at all. the TRD's are really stiff, and the other hand though--the handling is superb! i love them because of that! i think im going to have to get the teins for their handling and hopefully a better ride! does anyone know where i can get these at a decent price? i was quoted $1250 not incl. install!
