Default TRD struts and springs, anybody like em?

I'm just tryin to decide if i should get the TRD struts/springs for 600 bucks from trdsparks, or the H&R coilovers from dezod.com for 1084, will there be a big performance difference between the two? I'm trying to save a little bit of cash here and there because I still need to get my turbo kit heh.

I have a TRD setup and i like it very much not too low but definitely not stock wheel gap.

Also i have it and the ride is comfortable for daily driving but if I would have to choose again I would go with coilovers just to get a more aggressive stance!

Final Words: TRD's good but coilovers are way better!

i love my TRD's i tink they have great handling over stock, coilovers though would probly be much better performance wise, and you can adjust the height, which is alwo why they are so much more expensive but definately worth the extra cost. i would get the coilovers if you can afford it.

i have the TRD shocks/springs setup and i love it, the car handles so much better then stock but still feels pretty close to the stock ride.
i pull .88G on the skid pad test with just this setup on stock tires! for comparison i was only pulling .82 stock

I have the TRD struts and springs and am very pleased for the most part with them. My only compaint is I need a stiffer spring. If I have more than 150lbs in the cargo area I sag. I am pretty sure if I was rockin coilovers I could prevent that.
