- if adjustable gt two type,short stroke (i think the short stroke mostly for ae92 model) and long stroke (mosly for ae101 and a111)
- all trd model are stiff...currently im using ae101 long stroke type...but rarely have passenger so i dont mind 8 this moment...but nw loking for tein flex or ss...

Go ahead & get the TRD shock. it's durable and the ride quality is great. I'm using it on AE86. fornt n back TRD shock (short stroke), it mean for track but the ride quality still very good on the street. it's depend on what spring that you match with the absorber.
