    Hey guys, i just want to kno which shocks is better. I want tha one that has less body roll in it. Plus i have TRD springs, but might upgade to Progress. Will this be a good combination with either shocks? Can tha TRD take other aftermarket springs? I havent heard much people rockin Tokico, r they not as good asTRD??? I want tha shock/strut combo that will help eliminate body roll tha most. And would i need a camber kit if i get Progress springs???

    Body roll is only going to be controlled with a bigger rear swaybar and stiffer springs. Struts are not going to affect this much at all. TRD struts are made from Blisteen. They can handle the lowering rate of the TRD springs. Yokico is a well respected Japanese brand. Either should be good for what you are driving your car for. Tokico might just be a step up if you buy their premium units. Any thing lower than the TRD springs drop will require rear adjustable camber beyond what the stock can handle.

    Ok, i got a TRD rear sway bar installed but still feel body roll. To be honest it didnt feel that much different. Just slightly. When pushed hard it understreers. Wat springs are stiff???

    If I was to choose between TRD or Tokico, I would go with Tokico. I have heard numerous people running them on Honda's, Scion's, Neon's and Subaru's. Great handling, excellent longevity, and work very well with after market springs and sway bars. This is going to be one of my upgrades come spring.

    To cap it off, TRD swaybars, springs, and struts are only going to give marginal increases in performance. This is by design so as not to damage the ride/handling qualities of the car from stock.
