KYB GR-2 shocks will have the same body as TRD's however the "valving spec" will differ as the GR-2's are an OEM replacement (smooth ride) while the TRD version have much firmer valve spec's and provide a performance ride.
If you want a ride similar to stock damping go with GR-2. The TRD shocks will rattle your fillings loose in comparison. Much firmer with resultant incredable handling when teamed with TRD springs and swaybar.
