I've also been waiting for a while... I want a lower drop than the TRD springs but don't wanna mess up my stock shocks/struts over time lol. So I'm waiting on aftermarket struts/shocks or a cheaper coilover kit hah.

I've been working with (and I use the term loosely) Koni the last week or so, to try and get something developed. They've been responding quickly, but certainly are far less than than excited to develop the dampers. But... they haven't said no, so there is still hope.

Right now I'm trying to get some specs on the OEM dampers to send them. Once I get those together, we'll see where it goes.

Less than excited is good enough for me, as long as they actually get something done for our tc's! hah. hopefully this does go somewhere

Don't get too excited just yet. So far, our email conversations have gone to the effect of:

Me: Do you have shocks/struts for the tC2 or are you planning to make some?
Koni: We haven't had a tC2 in to develop them.
Me: Is there anything I can do or provide to help move this along?
Koni: Either send us a front & rear damper or really good drawings.
Me: I can send the struts as long as I get them back. Where should I send them?
Koni: Well, all we really need is X,Y and Z dimensions. That would work better.
Me: Okay, let me find them...

And while I shortened my original email and some of my responses, their responses really were just that brief.
