TRD parts are cool mods. Til you realize you're replacing perfectly good stock brakes, wheels/tires, sway bars, shocks/springs that have tons of life left. You already paid for them in buying the car; now you're going to sell them at a loss? Then lose more money buying marked up TRD parts (or lose a little less if you buy used)? Then lose even more to get them installed? Which sometimes costs more than the part being installed and why I gravitate towards DIY. But I still want these parts. I hope they come pre-installed in a TRD or STI or PROVA edition. They may have a higher sticker price but should cost less than modding a stock car.
Toyota really knows how to gyp you! I've fallen for it several times over.

I'm new to the Toyota world but TRD parts are after-market parts installed by your local Toyota dealer and can't be ordered directly?

I do get a kick out of all these parts... Toyota spends all this time setting up the car how they want it - fun, sporty, involving, yadda, yadda, yadda - and then they offer bits that go some way to removing those USPs, lol.
Will say the seats might be cool if the stock ones turn out not to offer enough support. |

With that one I disagree.
1 Piston brakes have a big disadvantage when it comes to brake pad wear and stopping power. If you use your car for buying groceries then I agree. There are also no good brake pads available for 1 piston brakes. |

I must admit 6 pot calipers IMO are a tad over kill for a car of this size.

There is never too much stopping power. It is always nice if you can stop from 100 km/h to 0 km/h in 2 sec.

Those brakes would seem fitting on a 500 bhp heavy beast. All you need is 4/2 pistons for this car if you think the stocks won't be adequate.
