    Default TRD Damper help

    I have some front and rear trd greens and want to know if there buggered the fronts dont rebound at all is this right? They just use the spring for rebound? And the rears when on number 1 its like the valve is opened heaps and it rebounds real fast and on 8 (highest/stiffest) it takes like a min to fully rebound after full compression? This seem right? Also non of them are leaking can i get them tested at fulcrum or somwhere to see if there still good?

    TRD Greens are non-gas, hydraulic only, so if you compress them they will not extend by themselves, you will have to help them(pull them out). TRD greens are what TRD call Race - soft.

    Also is there a website that looks into all this? Like are trd greens (soft) best for higher or lower spring rates etc?

    TRD greens are fucking hard man, they're best run with something 6kg/mm +

    Best comparison I can give is a TRD Blue adjustable (front) on it's 2nd hardest setting, greens are the poor mans blue.
    You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?
