TRD Springs. . . who makes them?
Yes I did a search and found that TRD is in almost every post on this website. . .lol
Anyway, I know that TRD really just slaps their name on stuff other people make, so does anyone know who makes the TRD springs for the xB?

they may outsource to get some products and see how they're built but they do re-design to each specific vehicle. which is better really. when your dedicated to one brand of vehicle over the mass amounts of other companies which have a hard time tuning in vehicles.

I see, everytime I see TRD stuff it looks like all the other aftermarket stuff I see. Like the old TRD mufflers made by borla, and the new CAI which is apparently identical to the AEM one. . . but I just had to ask. My TRD struts and shocks were stamped "Tokico". . .lol thanks for the replies.

FYI- TRD definetly doesn't make they're own springs. The volume isn't worth they're time. TRD simply finds someone who has already engineered and tested the product, they get an awsome price because "they are TRD" (Everyone loves to brag how they make parts for Toyota) Then they sell through they're distributing channels at a great margin. Easy right!
Theres no way to tell who makes TRD's springs, besides there are several spring companies in the US who are soley in the business of private labels. They don't have thier own brands to compete with thier customers private brands.
Then again, maybe it is Eibach, or 1 of the other 50 QS or TS spring manufacturers out there.
That's the way the aftermarket works. It's all about marketing...
