Default TRD Coilovers- Worth It????

Alright guys got a few questions, was curious to see if anyone had these installed and how they are working out? Are TRD Coilovers any different from other Coilovers, like are they worse or better? Or is it if you are just wanting to keep the warranty with the car this is the best way to go.

Thanks guys

Look at dampning rate, spring rate, adjustabilty, im not sure about the TRD's what price they are or anything but there are a ton of good options out their for coilovers....

Tein SS
Tein Basic
K-sports
JIC's
....etc

none of these should void your warrenty, unless they parts you install are the direct cause of the problem this should not void your warrenty....

just compare, compare, compare..... i know im missing a lot of info, but its really what your looking for in your setup, what are your plans with it, more info we will be able to help you more

get the h&r instead of the trd if you want the same coilover but cheaper.

idk about the megan and ksport. i heard they weren't that good of quality and i always see them for sale here with a blown strut or whatever.

TRD coilovers are rebadged Progress coilovers, you know progress does not make crap, you can get the TRD ones at a good price here:

Thanks for the input. So i have been reading and the TRD Coilovers do not allow for damper adjustment, do any of the others allow for this? Like the progress prehaps because that seems to be what the TRD Coilovers are anyways or am i going to have to go with something a little bit more expensive in order to get this feature?

progress and trd coilovers do NOT have dampening adjustability. others like tein, JIC, h&r, B&G, HKS...etc all do.
