And there's nothing wrong with that. I don't mind having a car with struts made by a company that makes struts. I think KYB is a very good company and a good decision to go with them for factory struts.

but they dont have tokicos from the factory, they have kyb's; as do hondas, nissans, and nearly every other japanese car.

they are an upgrade from the stock shocks, not a direct oem replacement. blues are designed to have slightly better valving stock especially with lowered cars, where as kyb GR2s are an oem replacement shock.

Yo I'm not getting pissy I'm just saying that they were KYB and that's a good choice in struts. Tokico Blues, would be an upgrade from stock. But overall a good set of coilovers would be better.

i was just making sure you know that the stock yaris doesn't come with tokico blues lol, that would be bad info to spread around.
