Default Best struts/shocks set compatible with tein h-tech springs?

I am wondering what the best pair of struts and shocks I could get that are compatible with the Tein H Tech lowering springs?
If someone could compare prices and performance that would be great.
I just got my Tein H Tech springs and I want to get the struts and shocks as soon as possible so please hurry and help me.

The only ones available are TRD or Koni... IMO, the Koni would probably be better... but it likely won't matter too much either way as long as they're not OEM.

Very cool thanks for the information, I will probably end up getting the TRD.
Do you know how much the TRD set costs?

They're usually just over $450 a set.

I got TRD shocks right now, springs coming in tomorrow (H techs). TRD's are cheaper but Koni's are better. TRDsparks and Mcgeorgeparts has the same price for the TRD shocks but when you pay and add all the shipping and all that stuff... mcgeorge has a better price.

What is the differance between the OEM struts & shocks VS Koni or TRD? Why can't the OEM be left there?

stock shocks cant handle the new springs, you will eventually have to change them later on. Koni's are adjustable unlike TRD's.
