Is there a KYB or TOKICO shock equivalent to the TRD? If they are supplying TRD with the shocks... must be one out there with out the TRD sticker at a lower price... don't you think?

Hey Rockland, can you get the manufacturer part number (not the Toyota/TRD part #) for the Yaris shocks? It might be written in small letters some where on the shock.

I emailed KYB about this already because I wanted the AGX or some other reasonably priced adjustable absorber. KYB replied to me by saying that although there may be a KYB branded version of the TRD absorber in the future, there is not one available at this time. Meaning, Toyota probably has a one or two year contract with KYB that gives TRD exclusive branding on this particular KYB absorber. That's my guess.

Nope! They are made by KYB. Tokiko shocks are crap IMO! Wait for the AGX 2's from KYB which will be adjustable. A Very very good shocks which will not disappoint!!
