    Even if they did, it's re branded for them anyhow. What are you after?

    right now, i already installed the lowering springs TRD just want to get rid off the bounciness from stock absorber. Its too bouncy :( i would change it to coil over but, the problem is I still have my warranty. Dont want to lose the warranty.

    The only way it would void warranty is if you replace it with aftermarket part and it caused the defect.. or the work to install it caused it.. Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. See wiki link;

    Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    So with that, you can get other shocks/struts without concern about voiding warranty.

    I just installed mine and I haven't found it bouncy but I just installed them yesterday. What's the mileage on your car. Mines is new more or less.. perhaps worn shocks?
