Default what shocks go good with tein stechs?

The only aftermarket shocks available for the tC are the TRD ones.

i have the tein s-tech's with the trd struts/shocks...the ride is really good... but ofcourse the big bumps are a lil harsh... i was really surprised how comfortable the ride was since the drop was so low... alot of people don't like the shocks cause they aren't adjustable but if u r just using it for daily driving it's fine... I'm also running 18's so 17's should be more comfortable i guess
