Considering the only piece of toms/trd equipment I own is the Tom's wheels on my AW11 I will have to vote for Tom's

Go for TRD... As it is genuine toyota performance parts. It may cost you more but i believe the quality is better. I had TRD brakes, clutch, suspension in my ST185 GT-FOUR and everything ran superbly.

I'd have to go TRD as well - they make very comfy seat belt pads..

that's the only TRD spec equipment on my car

TRD is all good but equally so is TOMS.

My wagon has TRD adjustables, flywheel,clutch bloddy love it.

But my old 101 Trueno had TOMS cams, clutch, flywheel, pistons, and suspension. That was a bundle of joy some RS's, GSR's ST185 GT4's can atest to :twisted:

So I guess I'm abit in between.

Here's the websites for TRD & TOMS

TRD website: www.toyota-trd.com

TOMS - www.tomsracing.co.jp

Also there are some Toyota dealers in Auckland that deal TRD. - Needle in haystack tho

i think that mclennan performance centre sells TRD stuff i think?

Has the stickers and belt shoulder pads anyway, were a bit cheaper than sollit trading too! And the guys in there were actually good to talk to, didnt have to wait 1/2 an hour for some one to answer my questions,

Also i enquired about some bodykits for my car and the guy said he would call me during the week and he actually did - The first place to actually call me when they said they would!!!

Ps. its at the south end of willis st parelell to victoria if u dont know where it is!
