I looked at using new parts to create a complete TRD spring/strut combo and keep my OEM spring/strut assemblies intact but found it much, much cheaper to simply buy, or rent a strut spring compressor than to pay the high prices of Toyota for the necessary parts. If I recall correctly the upper strut bearings were close to $90.00 each from Toyota Canada and this is just one of the parts I'd have needed. I bought a top-o-line compressor on sale for $29.00.
In fact, for the price of the duplicate parts you could have the stealership do the install cheaper.
