no leaking, great condition. got rid of em because my combo was too low for my wheels. so i got some h&r coilovers.

i actually got the tanabe and tokicos because my g/f complained about the ride of my b+g coilovers....and she liked the combo...very nice ride.....but with the rubbing issue with the tires...she was freaking out about it when we drove....

IMO it would be a toss up between the TRD and Tokico. I have the Tokico and have no complaints. I would imagine the TRD would be at least as nice... or hope anyway. To me, it just comes down to what you can get a better deal on. I got the Tokicos last year when prices were lower so the deal was awesome. They've gone up a bit now, so like I said, what ever you can find a better deal on.

Hey make sure you post pics after you get your springs and dampers. I'm looking into this set up myself. Personally would go with TRD dampers, since they are red. Tokicos are light blue. Light blue, red springs, on a white car won't look so good IMO. Besides, it wouldn't surprise me if Tokicos and TRD dampers are the exact same thing.

The pic H&R has on their site shows them painted in red. I'm just saying red & blue suspension parts on a white car won't look so good (yes I am that **** about details lol), but if you don't mind go for it.

WTF?

If you plan on ever tracking the car I would go for the TRD struts, but if it's strictly a daily driver I would go with the Tokico's if they're cheaper. They'll probably ride just a tad smoother than the TRD's as well.
