Guest charlie Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Hi guys, I'd like to fit some new dampers on my Supra but not sure what the best option is. I love the idea of keeping it OEM and going with genuine Toyota (if they're still available) however I also understand that aftermarket can add a lot of advantages. I don't really know how the OEM items compare with high-spec aftermarket equivalents. I'd also seen TRD do a kit which I was very interested in as it's sort of OEM but I'm guessing with the advantage of aftermarket handling, but they seem rare as rocking horse excrement. Really just looking for advice on what'd be the best option for me, thanks! Charlie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Try and locate some TRD Bilsteins or just off the shelf Bilsteins? Is there even a difference? Cheers The TRD Bilsteins are discontinued now and I'd avoid them as they are very firm. I'd either contact Chris Wilson about a set of aftermarket Bilsteins or get a set of the optional OEM Toyota/Bilsteins from Toyota. 2 x 48510-09016 Toyota/Bilstein Damper 2 x 48530-09016 Toyota/Bilstein Damper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
