use the TRD springs, anything you use will lessen the life of your struts/shocks but with a 1 inch drop that the TRD has it should run you fine.

Depending on what you want to do, the Hotchkis springs will drop the xB about 1.5" to 1.7" and the TRd will drop it about 1 1/4".

I have Eibach springs. About 1.8 drop. It's a nice ride. Better than the stock springs and it looks way cooler. I plan to get the TRD shocks/struts...maybe you should do the same.
