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.

Sweet. It's been several months since I mailed them. I hope they don't come out with an adjustable b/c I would have waited if I had known this.
