What shocks would you recomend with tein h-techs? Something that will last a while and not blow out on me in less than a couple years.

I go by if it bounces at all. They should return normally to their rest position without any real bounce when you just push them down and release.

But, over 10k on my stock shocks with trd springs (25k on the car) and they still ride like new.

Well, if you have the trd springs and your shocks are blown shouldnt they replace them under the warranty anyways?

It depends on where you drive as well.
Driving on smooth backroads is different then driving on pothole-riden city streets.

Everybody mention driving conditions as well...
