The TRD set-up is VASTLY superior to the Tein crap. The TRD parts combine to feel like a thoroughly engineered package, while the Tein stuff felt like aftermarket junk.

I will never again buy Tein anything.

I am thoroughly impressed by the TRD package (springs, dampers and rear bar) and wouldn't consider anything else for my Yaris.

For the record, I've been driving/playing around with nice handling vehicles since the mid 1980s.

I've never used TEIN products but can concur that the TRD package works like a dream in my Yaris Sedan. The balance is nice with the shocks,springs and swaybar. I just need some stickier tires when the winter boots come off next spring.

The TRD set-up (springs, dampers and bar) feels like a thoroughly engineered performance PACKAGE. It exceeded my expectations, which isn't an easy thing to do.

The Tein "Super Streets" on my 2006 Accord V6 EX coupe were horrible. The front end felt like an old Buick (even with the shocks cranked to maximum) and the rear end felt like a pick-up truck (even with the shocks cranked to minimum).

Maybe they screwed up that particular application, though I could never recommend them to anyone for any application after that.
