Hi Guys,
After months of debating between TRD vs Eibach, I need help in deciding between TRD and eibach sportlines. My main worry is COMFORT. My celica GT(sports suspension) is a daily driver plus my wife and 2y/o kid rides in it also. I like the lowered look but I don't want to sacrifice comfort. Now my question is which is more comfortable on stock struts and wheels. Thanks. Eli. -------------------- 3sgteing.

they're the same thing! honestly, no joke! eibach makes trd's. i've got the 'eibachs', they're nice and smooth, not too bouncy or rigid at all!

Its common internet knowlewledge that trd's are made by eibach (I have no idea if this is true or not). However, they ARE NOT the same (despite what you read). TRD's are linear and Eibach's are progressive. Most people prefer linear springs when you ride in them because they are more predictable but it is a preference sort of thing. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

Thanks jgreening for that important piece of information. I certainly did not know that. Eli  -------------------- 3sgteing.
