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?

struts? u mean strut tower? i just call em shocks
trd shocks will make ur front lower a lil bit more
rear stock shocks is the same height as the rear TRD shocks
