    Tein springs are TRD, they are just sold under a differnt nameplate, but the ones that are sold by TRD are Tein's H-Tech springs, the S-Tech's are lower.

    I remember that when tein springs came out, the ones that were already out were: TRD(eibach), eibach, h&r, intrax, sprint, b&g, and some random coil overs.

    and tein h techs came out after the s techs too. so how could trd ones have been them if they were developed literally years later? :(

    this is for the new setup. Toyota still uses eibach for most vehicles, but when i went to the dealer they had two offerings one from Eibach and the other Tein, Tein is what i have on right now, the Eibach were too high, but had a significantly better ride quality.Teins are very low on my car and have very, very little suspension travel. This is using Blistein Struts, the same made for porsche and m-b.

    Dealer said TRD offered a new system for its higher demands.
