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.
