Does anyone have any TRD parts installed in their car? Where did you get them? Anyone know of a website that lists them with prices?

This sounds like a job for Hope! (Any time you wanna jump right in...).Lots of TRD stuff available on Ebay... CAIs, exhaust, springs, strut bars, you name it.Here's one (of LOTS of websites) with TRD parts and prices:http://www.toyotaterritory.com

oh hey, sorry. didn't see this. i'm at work too so i don't have my list of places i buy my parts from. but yes, ebay is one good source. but carson toyota in irvine, CA is a good place, romania toyota in oregon, and conicelli parts center somewhere on the east coast is another good one. all of them sell a lot on ebay too. don't have the links to give you tho, sorry. warning: if you put teh trd cai on your vibe GT, it will most likely throw your CEL. i fixed this w/ the unichip... no more CEL and i'm a very happy camper! i got my TRD stb from one of the members who sold his vibe for half of list. TRD springs bought second hand from a guy off matrixvibe.net in the for sale forum... etc. nothing wrong w/ getting used parts too because you will pay more for the TRD name. however, i don't have any exhaust system as of yet... but the magnaflow seems to be the best one for performance and gains. i'm hoping to hold out for a catback dual exhaust system with straight pipes out the rear... and a body kit or some custom work to allow for the dual exit.hope that helps you out.

How could I forget about trdvibe? I should have just asked you in the first place. I am pricing some springs and am feeling that going with trd will give me the best quality because it is a company that works with Toyota, right? I also read somewhere that the springs are progressive rate springs too. Am I right with this? Hey, and if you find out any links, let me know, thanks again!

The TRD springs are made by Eibach and are the same as the Pro-Kit. Drop is about 1¼" front and back. The front springs are progressive. I think retail on them is about $300. If you really want that style, you might do better to get the Eibach Pro-Kit instead. Retail is around $230, but can be had for a lot less.

Thanks Hope and Z............ whatever that name was, I will be getting some soon. For around 200-250, that seems good to me. I can't afford the supercharger, full exhaust, or new wheels yet. So, I think I am finally going to plunge with my first modified part, some springs. I shouldn't have a problem with bottoming out beacuse they will be a stronger spring, right? That is kind of what led me to go for it was when I read that they were progressive. Without progressive in the rear, that will be fine too, right?

Hope,Be sure to check out the Magnaflow thread http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=9997because there is a recent posting that links to a picture of a Magnaflow exhaust with dual exhaust pipes out of the muffler for the Matrix XRS & Vibe GT. Not sure it's the genuine Vibe article, but it might be worth checking out.Of course, you'll have to remove those pricey Wal-Mart 'duals' you probably already installed! LOL

very good question. usually i see those parts are more for their trucks and suv's. i'd give that place a call and see what they say.
