wellll the TRD shocks are apparently just rebadged Eibachs (as is most "TRD" stuff, a lot of badge engineering there)

TRD springs may be manufactured by Eibach (many brands are) however the drop is 1.2" compared to Eibach's Pro-Kit with is advertised at 1" only. This would suggest that TRD set the spec. for whomever wound and painted the steel.
