Go wit KONI or TRD, TRD is a direct oem replacement; no modes needed!!

Tokico are an excellent shock for the money. I have used them on tons of apps including my mom's Camry and she even loved them. LOL

Devstc: I am in the same boat as you are, had 50K on the TRD shocks went on me, mechanic put KYBs on the front, but reported KYB rears and Monroe (what they stocked) don't fit. He claim mixing brands for the rear is okay, I don't trust him on it.
Any experience with Tokico (complete set, I don't track, but need something perform better than OEM shocks, but not as stiff as TRD springs that I need an alignment going through potholes...

I am telling you guys, Tokico FTW for a non-break-the-bank performance shock.

We have them in stock, I will upgrade shipping to 3 DAY Select if you pay for Ground.

I'll second Paul's comments. I've been running Tokicos for nearly 2 years with zero complaints. Excellent value. Though I did get them when they were even cheaper than they are now.

Plus, Dezod is good people.

I heard the KYB GR-2's were absolute junk...blew out if you put TRD springs or lower on them...anyone know differently? A full KYB set can be had for under $300...which makes it a tasty alternative

I replaced OEMs w/ Tokico here. No complaints. Koni has the inserts if you don't mind sawing on your OEMs.

I have been running the tokico blues and hotchkis springs for 2 years and 45k miles.. Very happy with the setup,

is it safe to have different shocks in the rears than in the fronts? my rear TRDs blew a month ago and i need something to replace them.

Thanks for the kind words.

They did go up quite a bit over the past 1-2 years

Chalk another one for Tokicos, been usin mine over a year and love them to death.

Thanks for sharing as well.

As I stated before, I used them even on non-performance cars and the ride quality is excellent.
