However, this may or may not have been a rumor.
Personally, I'd rather choose a TRD part over any other manufacture. They have much more involvement with the car from it's inception onwards to production. Even if it isn't the most aggressive (and this isn't always the best anyways), I believe it will continue to be harmonious with the rest of the car.
And my huge bias; I trust a Toyota backed company waaaay more then an independent tuner - even if they've been around for a long time. Generally speaking; more money + better engineers + more sophisticated tech = superior product. Now whether that's true or not... who knows, but it stands to reason  :happy0180: |
Yeah I'm with you Im a purist and feel that the stuff out of the factory and the company's own tuner is some of the best. I support the Aftermarket too but when it comes to things like suspension I feel like the manufacturer takes a bit more time to consider daily comfort to in comparison to independent tuners. But Im glad they are around for the option, I be happy to pay the option price for TRD springs, unless Tien comes out with something nice, I had them on my last car and they were great! better then H&R and even the Mugen suspension I had on my Civic SI. Sure hope we get some TRD goodies right off on release.
