I have a 95 celica st and just replaced my stock springs with trd lowering springs but my struts are blown so it rattles like crazy in the rear when i go on bumps. does anyone know if trd makes struts that will fit my car and if not what other brands are out there cause all ive heard about was the kyb gr2 or excel blacks.

I think they do make TRD struts, but I also think they are very expensive & very rare if I'm not mistaken. I wouldn't know where you could get a set, maybe Ebay. Hopefully another member could guide you to the right place.

KYB Gr2's - Good stuff..

Only others i've seen are monroe's but they do not come with a lifetime warranty for a 1.5 drop on springs like the KYB's do.

Let me know if you need back struts, I got 2 rear GR2's to get rid of.

Good luck on those TRD's...I wouldn't expect them to be cheap.

The 2 rears I have are brand new in the box, I didn't install them because the rears from my wrecked celica were brand new, and warrantied for life.

Expect to pay about 220 for a whole set. I was going to ask for 50, which is half for the rear set...just saying...not to deter..

i highly doubt they make the trd struts any longer. I called about a year ago do the TRD Headquarter in Torrance, CA USA and they gave me a price on the cartridges for the ST202 coilovers. Those run for about $400 each. So I'd assume the adjustable trd struts for oem suspension would cost at least $250 plus the cost of shipping. Your better off with koni!! you can check nengun.com as I believe they have a used trd suspension items.... but mileage usually isn't listed.

I have a set of rear Hotbits for sale. For just the rears new they are $1200. I'm willing to let them go for less than a 1/3rd of that.


Has separate compression and rebound adjustment. I"ve never used them.

here's the page. I'd advise you to call TRD headquarters USA down in Torrance, CA. Talk to them about the parts they'll give you a more updated list of st202 parts. But trust me you won't be happy with the price at all, let alone even buy them, unless they're 50% off tongue.gif go to shock absorber and you'll see two part numbers for the front struts and 2 part # for the rears. What the difference is just talk with the trd toyo dealership.
