He probably meant $500us, and $3000NZ.
Anyway.

So, no one can explain to me how bumps feel on the car with the TRD shocks with TRD springs, versus the TRD spring with lets say Tokico shocks?

Just want to know how bad the bumps feel inside the car from a rating of 1(soft/dont feel them) to 10(sucks/car rattling)

Yep cost me $500.NZ dollars and they are know fitted , did it yesterday
still have one full set available shocks and springs left in store ,
shipping to the US cost's about $310.NZ so probably not worth it

They are both nearly the same.

I have rode in cars with both dampers back to back. I have Tokicos.

Under most conditions, the stiffer dampers make the car feel and ride better. It will wallows and sways less over bumps in the road. It is more harsh over sudden bumps at speed like potholes or dips.

I would say it is a 10-15% difference in stiffness from a "feel" perspective.
