Default socks and springs....help....

I am looking around for springs and shocks and well, i like the trd spring and shock set.....but 1'' drop dosnt really interest me..... i was wondering can or could you put any type of Tein springs on with the trd shocks....is this at all possible....comments.....and is there anyone outhere with just the Teins on stock shocks and are you having any problems at all......my main concern is i do not want to worry about having to replace the shocks somewhere in the near future.....thanks guys

the reason i got the TRD shocks with the TEIN s-techs was becuz of the drop the TEINs had..i did it to take precaution, so the stock shocks didn't go

Hotchkis Springs!

I have them on stock shocks just cause im planning on going with coilovers later on. Had them on for about 4.5 months. Look and feel great! The drop is 1.7" front and 1.97" rear.

TEIN was too much of a drop for me!

id recomend the koni yellows, life time waranty and they are better than the TRD's in terms of... well pretty much in all ways, and they are stiffness adjustable. For the fronts all you have to do is open the hood and turn a ****.

I thought this thread was about some sort of performance socks that make you jump hire that went terribly wrong.

Get a nice set of coil overs. (your flavor. I'd go with tien) or the trd set up.
