Default regarding shocks for scions

i read somewhere that koni has shocks made for the scions. is that true? maybe, just for one of the scions?
does anyone know if there are any other shocks out there for the scions yet? im really hoping eibach is going to make one.

post any known info and rumors here, please!

spy engineering sold me some koni shocks for the scion that are adjustable.

TRD sells some non adjustable ones.

Does anyone know how much Spy eng. is selling their koni's for? I don't really want to buy the whole set.

$600

They feel great. ride is definitely not harsh even at nearly full stiff all around.

when i pulled my stock shocks to put the springs on i looked at the model# and manufacturer of them....btw they are made by tokico.....so im sure as hell not wasting money to change them till they go bad.....and after putting the tein s tech springs on body roll is almost gone and the ride is smooth and fluid....cornering is oh so nice....im comparing this to my 2k civic si with upgraded shocks/springs/sway bars/bushing's/upper controll arms/etc......shocks are tokico....springs from eibach.....bushing's from energy suspension....uper controll arms from skunk2...lower rear controll arm from skunk2.....lower tie bar from dc sport for rear....rear uper tie bar from dc sport.....dc sport front strut brace....the scion will never out corner the civic.....but im still impressed with it even compared to my civic.....

Would the TRD shocks be comparable to the Spy eng. Koni's? I'm leaning towards the TRD's, due to the price. Also, would the TRD shocks work well with other aftermarket springs? :? Ex. Eibachs, Goldlines, etc...
