Perhaps the Blues are valved for less compression damping than the higher cost TRD units
They aren't, they are stiffer than the TRD's. I've had both on my car.

"Body roll" is a completely subjective term, so unless one person has driven both cars, or both cars are shown on the same curve on a track (etc, you get what I mean), it's not a very accurate discussion.

True, subjective, much like the strut tower bar discussion.

Garm, it's great to have your input.
99.9% of us will never have acce$$ to both brands to do an apples vs apples comparo.
That said, if the Tokico's are stiffer than the TRD's I'm happy they weren't available when I did my sedan. I like it as it is now and can't imagine how some passengers would complain if it was any more rigid. They already grumble.
