Progress springs + Tokico blues + UR sway bar = a lot less money with better performance.

Hey Cali,

depends on what you want for a drop...being in AB, i can see how you'd want just a small drop...assuming you drive in the winter...

too bad youre so far from the border, shipping will be killer

there may be a difference in specifications, but yes, they are made by the same company...seeing as our stock shocks/struts are also Tokico.

Garm had mentioned "Progress springs + Tokico blues + UR sway bar = a lot less money with better performance. "

How much less and what kind of performance?

You can check out the prices here:

I'd say the performance is about the same as TRD, unless you go with the thicker rear sway bar(23mm), which I haven't used, but I hear stiffens up the suspension more than the TRD.
