yes. These parts from TRD are the ONLY parts worth buying for your tC...


TRD Supercharger
TRD Strut/Sway bars
TRD Quick Shifter
TRD Shocks

The rest are seriously not worth it. Injen puts out better numbers and sounds way better.

To each their own, BUT:

Injen has more performance and sounds better. IMO. I have the Injen CAI and have no complaints.

the TRD shifter is questionable... Because for the price of that one you can get a Doc. Isotope one and the **** for less than what you would pay for that one. You just dont get those flashy lights...

An intake is an intake. A CAI is a CAI. There's practically no difference between the two. Get the one that looks better and for a good price. You won't feel the 1hp gain claimed by Injen over the TRD/AEM.

Not all CAI's are created equal.

You can argue the S/C, just ask Nick which S/C he's on...The TRD Springs are nice too.

as far as quality is concerned ya they arent bad. But put them up against REAL springs like eibach, tein, etc. and your outclassed. the TRD springs only give you an inch drop. barely.
