Default TRD Shocks/Springs or wait for Coilovers????

I already have a set of TRD lowering springs for the tC. If I have them installed, I'll probably get a set of TRD shocks to go with them. My friends have been telling me that if I'm gonna spend money for the shocks, I might as well wait for Coilovers to come out. I don't plan on dropping the car more than the TRD spring's height with the coilovers if I do. What do you suggest I do? What is the performance difference between TRD Shocks vs. Coilovers?

Unless you really know what you are doing, coilovers with adjustable dampers are wicked overkill. your wheels, tires, and springs and shocks are all part of the suspension in your car, and going about it in a mix and match way is bad news. The trd parts are all designed to work together and with the car. So the springs will be designed around the trd shock settings. i have the trd combo on my xB and it rides awesome. only thing i might do is add some roll bars
