Do you have those? do they have adjustable dampening as well, or only ride hight?
They look like the K-sport coilovers.

I'm curious where you bought your TRD coil overs? Because they look like they're over $1400 before installation from Scion. I was hoping I could get them cheaper, if not I may buy Teins. I'm concerned about the remaining 10k on my drive train warranty. I just ordered 4 P215/45ZR-17 Continental ContiExtremeContacts, and want to take full advantage of them.
