when i got my car a while back it has J Speed Coilovers on it. at least on in the rear is blown maybe both, and they bounce really back. i hit the track a couple weeks ago and i kept bottoming out really back so i decided to get a different set. i came across a set of TRD Coilovers i just won them on auction tonight and currently waiting for them to get shipped so i can check them out. i really hope they're in good condition. i figure i can get a set of adjustable pillow ball mounts and be good to go. any one know for sure if there are adjustable damper, and if i could send them off to toyota to have them rebuilt if i need to?

Thats a goo question. I also heard that the tein and TRD struts/cartridges are the same. Made by the same manufactuerer

you are wrong. Tein charges $75 to revalve/rebuild them while toyota TRD Coilovers are not rebuildable. TRD you need to buy the whole cartridge.

so i was wondering since they are just cartridges, couldnt i just get a set of like koni cartridges or something just match the correct size with the table above and i should be good to go right?


like i said I tried before but I got nothing. Contact them again to see what they say you have all the info you need on sizing and dampening.
