TRD rates http://www.trdparts.jp/english/parts_spring.html
Can't find specific Waydo springs but the part number on the strut body matched the TRD number and is listed here. http://www.trdparts.jp/english/parts_shock.html part number 48510-AE000.

Unless they want it low, what about putting stock springs back in?

I'm sure you could get a set locally for bugger all. Stock springs and new shocks would still be a good setup.

That is an option I can put forward to him. I don't think he cares if its low or not. Could sell the springs and get some money back.

So in the end we decided to go for all TGP parts. Standard shocks, new bump stops/dust boots and new dust covers for the top hat bearings just in case they needed doing. The budget didn't allow for sports shocks and this is only a daily.

Thanks to Mark for getting great pricing on parts once again.

The TRD struts are sealed units so the other options wouldn't work. Good thing we went with TGP. The front right strut was leaking and completely stuffed, wasn't even working a little bit. Very bouncy strut with the spring still on.

Swapped them over in just over an hour. The springs are actually silver Down Max springs and the swaybars looked quite big. Jacking up one corner of the car lifted the whole side until both corners were up. The lable on the spring was on the inside so couldn't be seen with them in the car. No part number on them though.
