I have to say I'm very pleased with the looks and performance of the whole TRD package (shocks, springs and swaybar). With the ground effects body kit, it lowered perfect...with the rare, but happens "whoops, can't take that driveway/angle like that again". :rofl:

tein s-techs w/ stock shocks for about 9 months or 15k miles. think they're starting to wear out but they're still fine to me.

Wait for the Koni's. They're just a tad bit more expensive than the TRD's and come with a lifetime warranty and are adjustable to suit your driving tastes.

TRD springs and struts. I think it's a tough combo to beat overall.
