what is the difference between the TRD shocks and the regular shocks?

Would it be worthwile to replace the regular sr5 stuff with the TRD bilsteins?

thanks,
Dave

 

i did a search and kinda answered my own question.

i would still appreciate any feedback you guys have.

i did a mild offroad excursion saturday morning and had a good time. the front seemed to perform well, but the rear seemed a little stiff.

what do you guys think?

Dave

 

Welcome newbie!

Sorry, I don't have a Taco. But, I can tell you I haven't heard of anyone with TRD Bilsteins. I have regular Bilsteins and am thrilled with them.

Good luck with your Taco!

 

The TRD package for the tacoma's comes with a rear locker and bistein shocks. This is what i am refering to.

I guess i am asking if it would be worth it to "upgrade" to the bilsteins that come with the trd package.

thanks,
Dave

 

I would have to say no. If you are going to upgrade your bils I would go right from the company. Why pay for a TRD markup? shox.com was the cheapest I had found. I love my bills too though!

 

i bought bilstiens for mine and wasnt very impressed with it, if you can do it cheap it might be worth it. i would go OME anyday retail vs. retail over my yellow bilsteins.

but you should get a lift! saws for the front, some alcan leaf springs, and use bilstein 5100's in the back (might as well relocate them too) j/k.
