Default Springs and Shocks (what u think)

I was pondering suspension mods and thought about going with Tein H-Techs and some TRD shocks. Eventually I will put in the Hotchkis f/r sway bars as well. Was wondering what everyone thought. Will the h-techs work with the TRD's or am I not thinking? Let me know. PM me.

The way I see it, TRD shocks will work best with the TRD springs. I'm sure they will work with the H Techs and other aftermarket spirngs out there. Theres not reason it wouldn't work, the TRD shocks are stiffer than OEM shocks and a lot of people here have just springs on OEM shocks. My recommnendation would be Koni shocks, because of its adjustability. You can adjust the damper settings until you get something that works with the H Techs. If you don't want to spend for the Koni, then go with the TRD.

I want a nice drop, but I think the S-techs will be too much of a drop. I don't want to rub or bottom out. Hotchkis has systems out that I can get the sway bars and the shocks and then I would buy the springs separate. Like I said though, I want a nice drop, but if I'm going to have to replace shocks eventually....might as well do it now.

So you think this is a good setup?
