Something you might wanna consider when making your decision is that the TRDs can only be bought all 4 at a time. The tokicos sell the back 2 together than the front ones individually. If you blow one of them its cheaper to replace.

Just got mine installed an hour ago. WIll let you know how it rides later after I drive a bit. Already I notice that you feel every crack, bump, pebble on the road. Not in a bad way, just better feel for the road.

Correction... after getting a call from gripmotorsports this morning, apparently they make you buy the front right and left seperate... but since they only offer one product for the rear, I thought they would come as a set. But they don't. You have to get quantity 2 on the rear.

So I stand corrected, and should've listened to ReaL. You know what they say about things that seem too good to be true...
