What's your current suspension like? I had TRD on stock suspension and it wasn't that bad. Then again, I had the OEM 16's so no doubt the tires were absorbing some road feel. It's not as bad as it sounds. I have equally rough roads here in socal and my ride still feels almost like OEM.

It really depends how far you want to take the suspension and how you like the ride. From a few members here, it seems like TRDs on 16s keep the ride pretty comfy (because of all the rubber) while taking good advantage of the TRD's handling capabilities. Once you go 18s+ and/or put on other braces, the harshness of the TRDs will come out. The Daizens are VERY close to the TRDs in handling while retaining much of the OEM ride.
I too had both and prefer the Daizens.

Jake, so how much better are the TRD's? I'm thinking about getting a set as well. The Daizen's aren't quite cutting it for me. Seems like they have a delayed response. When I do a quick lane change, the car still dives a little bit, but it flattens back up in a fraction of a second. Obviously its much better than the stock sways that don't even keep the car flat at all. I want a set that will prevent the car from even diving/tilting at all. Does the TRD do that for you?
I drove around in my friend's IS300 with Hotchkis Sways and everything else on the suspension was stock. MAN the handling on that thing was wayyy tighter than the GS. I guess the 500lb difference is a pretty big wieght penalty in the handling department
I paid $480 for my Daizens. I could of gotten the TRD's for about $530.
Really pisses me off that I didn't get the other set since it was only $50 more lol. Ah well, live and learn right?

Going from Daizen to TRD is as much difference as Stock to Daizen. Jeff, You need to go TRD if want to achieve your goals/handling wise
Daizen=Comfort/better handling
TRD=Handling for real!!!!
