for a set of 4 (1 df, 1 pf and 2 rear) TRD Struts yea thats a good price, and coilovers would void warrenty because, toyota can say that "because you changed your suspension, bad vibrations were transmitted in the cabin and mess up your radio, so we can't give you a new one, u gotta buy it, blah blah blah..." this is just an example, i don't acually have a radio problem...

Actually no, they can not do that. They would have to prove the coilovers did whatever went wrong. They can not just say it did it. Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

Some information would be nice on how you can get such a price on TRD shocks and struts. I know I would not hand over any money to someone who just says "I can get you these at this low price." If they were custom or a new product then maybe it would make sense, but they are TRD. Any dealer would probably be selling at a big loss selling TRD for so cheap.

I agree... I thought the TRD struts were different from the stock so that you don't run the risk of blowing one with the shorter springs?

They are not the same. Not trying to be disagreeable, but they are definitely not the same.

That's way below our cost so we'd be in for all 30 if they're not stolen!! lol
