TRD are a bit noisy and a can be a bit hard going over bumps but my god have they improved the handling, seriously if someone had told me how much they improved it I would not have believed them.

They dont have all the adjustment of some like the K-Sport/ D2 but I would not swap to any other make!

Going to fit TRD Anti Roll bars next month :D

GAB Revo Stroke R's - bought from a scrap yard for £160, fairly stiff but not bone shaking.

Not bad in my opinion.

Twll you the best thing about the TRD's- lifting mid corner and letting the back slide a bit in the DRY, would be dead trying it on standard supension. Marks 10/10- which i missed off my previous post ](*,)

I have the Apexi N1 spec coilovers fitted to my car, fantastic set of coilovers if you ask me plenty of adjustability height wise as well. For a road coilover there pretty firm (adjustable though) but defo easy to live with day to day :thumleft:


oh an i would give them 9.5/10

and K sport all the same thing. I was told however the leak problem has been fixed. I asked guys from the last group buy how they were getting on, a couple replied and said great, others just didn't reply... usuallly when people get something good they shout about them...
