The ball joints are around $50-60 each - easy to replace

can go low as you want within reason

For the GT4 they are $1600 per side for the front new !!!!!

Best of all they are girl friend friendly with adjustable damping - hard - softness

Very good performance upgrade

can anyone confirm that the ones listed on trademe are actual trd ones? any way to tell? serial number somewhere?

Just because no one have traded with the fella yet, plus the shocks has just been repainted. Can never be too sure.. :roll:

I used to have a set of TRD
They will have 'TRD' engrave into the casing, Plus the serial number.

by the looks of things, the markings could have come off after he sand blasted the thing and repainted it....OR, is just a normal set with custom inserts and custom height adjust.

If its really geninue, i will go by any engraves. I suspect they are not geninue, because i remember mine one had rubber top mounts all round, and doesn't seem like his one is....
