My bad I didn't mean to offend but I do remember an incident a while back with the tC TRD parts. TRD offered a LSD for the car which was a rebadged Quaife unit. People realized this and started to buy the Quaife unit because they sold it at the price they sell all their LSDs around $1100. TRD didn't like this (TRD version sold for $1500) and Quaife was no longer allowed to sell the LSD without the TRD badge. Well, according to a Quaife representative.
Same thing went for the TRD SC for the tC. It was also a rebadged Vortech unit. According to speculation (I never verified) that was part of the reason why the SC was discontinued. Vortech didn't want to improve a product they're not receiving much money for. Again from speculation so I could be very wrong on this.
Also like I said my experiences of TRD were with the Scion tC, which I've heard the company dropped the ball big time. All their other products were very top quality and deserved the TRD badge from what I can tell. I'm just worried TRD doesn't drop the ball on the FR-S
