Default hotchkis +trd struts= good or no??

ok so i got hotchkis springs in already nd my shocks are shot already!!! lol!!! so im plannin to put in sum trd struts.. i was wonderin if it's a good combo or should i just go sumwer else?? no coilovers here tho... i dont race my tc... lol!!! i dont got money to spend wen i break more stuff... plus.. gas is not cheap!

o nd one more question.. are the trds ne shorter than the stock strut??? coz if not then these struts are not classified as the "special" lowering struts... am i rite??

well the TRD's are supposed to handle at least the TRD drop, nothing more! How long have you had Hotchkis? Ive had them on for a yr and no problems (knocking on wood). They still feel and look great!!! If you want shocks maybe someone is selling their stockers on here or you can upgrade to TRD?
