Hey I'm interested in getting the TRD struts but I wanna know is it a rougher ride than stock ??

O4COBRA · 02-01-2009, 01:35 AM

I would think there would be a "firmer" ride. But I wouldn't say it would be a rough ride...

kuhchow · 02-01-2009, 01:41 AM

it's a "comfortable" ride lol i love mine

tcboi513 · 02-01-2009, 01:42 AM

Well im asking because I heard going over bumps and things like that make are a little bit rougher w/ the TRD strut set up....and how well does it adjust varying road conditions?

trdtcpr · 02-01-2009, 02:02 AM

I've had mine for almost a year now and it's firmer than stock but not rougher!

tcboi513 · 02-01-2009, 02:05 AM

how is the ride quality vs. stock is it alot smoother ?

trdtcpr · 02-01-2009, 02:07 AM

I feel it a bit stiffer but nothing i can't live with and I DD my car! its very comfortable and if I ever change this setup TRD Strut/Springs it will be for coilovers!

tcboi513 · 02-01-2009, 02:21 AM

yea I DD too thats why I was wondering if it was comfortable

trdtcpr · 02-01-2009, 11:33 AM

yes they are comfortable!

I have TRD shocks and springs, very comfortable ride, this is the way to go if you're looking for comfort, this set-up is too soft for track thou....just so you know.

tcboi513 · 02-07-2009, 05:14 PM

thats fine I don't plan on using for track anyway I'm dd my tC

XIEmperorIX · 02-07-2009, 05:16 PM

x1000 on the comfort..i always get compliments on how smooth the ride is..had my TRD stuff in for about 15k or so now?

tcboi513 · 02-08-2009, 07:16 AM

a TRD rear or any other rear sway bar can correct that. plenty of people autox with the TRD set-up.

tcboi513 · 02-08-2009, 06:10 PM

I already have strut and sway

I know, I'm one of them, I have a Progress rear sway bar, big improvement, but still too soft for some serious corner carving.

I put about 70,000mi on my TRD struts with Hotchkis springs. The struts are great, and it's an overall good
setup. Definitely recommend them.
