Shocks upgrade??? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Both stock and TRD are gas/oil filled. The TRDs have nitrogen gas, probably at a higher pressure with a heavier weight oil. They are likely rebranded Gas-a-Just. Both the TRD and the OEM are made by KYB. Here is a blurb I just found:

These KYB Gas-a-Just shocks use higher gas pressure to keep your tires glued to the road. The KYB Gas-a-Just shocks' velocity-sensitive valving system adjusts quickly to changing road conditions for maximum comfort in any situation. Their monotube configuration eliminates aeration and foaming, their micro-smooth, hard-chromed pistons extend their life, and their seamless cylinders and eyerings completely eliminate seam failures.
