Default trd strut colors?

ok so the ones ive seen installed are red, and most of the pictures too. mcgeorge has them grouped in packages being red, but to buy them individually it shows them being grey. but on the trd usa site, it shows them being blue...
i would really like to get the blue shocks with my blue car, anybody know how?

Honestly... I wouldn't trust any of the pictures... Likely they're red, since that's more of a TRD color... especially if you've seen them install and they're red. I doubt there are/were ever blue ones available. But the only way to know would be to call your dealer or contact TRD directly.

The only color that the TRD suspension comes in for tc is red struts with white springs no matter what anyone says. Those pictures on the site are of the xb suspension. They also did the same thing in the scion magazine in which it showed the xb suspension under the tc section. In the corner it says xb trd struts shown.

So to Clearify

tC= Red
xB= Blue

hhhmmm I asked for my tc to be dropped and I kind of said the most aggressive you've got. It appears as though they installed H&R and its looks pretty slammed. I had always thought they were TRD, until I just crawled under there and looked.

sorry my bad.

I've done a search here on H&R and nothing really pops up. Anyone else have them? What do people think?

I guess my next two moves would be upgrading the strut/shock to the TRDs, keeping the H&R and then adding a sway. I strictly want the best handling daily driver I can build.
