so i'm looking at droping on some eibachs and want to get new struts and shocks...i've decided to go with trd, kyb, or tokico...now i want to here everyones feedback on these three shocks and struts and vote for the best one

 

watching

 

the trd and trd spring setup will give you a slight drop but most people want a bigger drop. Though it is the most comfortable setup you will probably achieve. I heard good things about the tokiko struts as well and people mixing the trd springs with the tokiko struts. Koni Yellows are known to be the best struts but its quite hard to install. theirs a diy thread about installing konis. GOOD LUCK!

 

i'm more than likely goin with eibach springs as i have ran them on racecars for years and they make a hell of a spring(the spring rate never changes in years!)but trd is the only other possibilty i was looking at for springs

 

yea the eibach might give you a better drop and yea they are good springs no doubt. but the combo of hte trd setup with the struts might be more efficient since they were made for each other with the same company. but!!! anything would work and whatever suits your preference =]

 

i just dropped my car like a week ago or so
the setup i have, tokicos and progress, rides very nice
and also very stiff

 

this is true...but at the same time look at the supercharger made for the tc by trd and its reflash...they were made by the same company but yet a stock ecu with an emanage tune on the supercharger is much more effective than the reflash with the supercharger lol

 

^^ true but so far i haven't heard anything bad about the trd combo being bad. if anything its the best setup for comfort.

 

I think that is more due to the fact that scion still had emissions and gas mileage in mind when making the reflash, whereas it's not really considered when tuning a piggyback.

BTW, I have the TRD shocks and springs and I have very happy with them. I have heard that Tokico's are the same as TRDs in terms of performance and ride, but are cheaper. I only got the TRD because I found someone selling a new in the box set for $250!!!

 

ok thanks for the info...thats part of y i don't like trd is the price

 

i put the tokico blues in about 2 months ago and the front drivers side is already blown out

 

^^ did you hit some giant pot hole or something? how did you blow it so fast

 

Koni Yellows?

 

^^ yea koni yellows are extremely nice. but installation isn't that fun. hahaha
