I just wanted to share my opinion and experiences on buying TRD shocks and springs. Before i was really torn on whether to get just the springs or the springs and the shocks. In the end, i bought the TRD shocks and springs for a total of 794 including labor at the dealer. Although i can't really give an unbiased opinion, since i didn't try driving a tc without the TRD shocks, i have to say that it was well worth it. I don't rub even with people in the back like others do with stock shocks. i don't know if this is because i got the TRD shocks, but i have heard from others that they rub with my exact set up. My set up is 18x8 +40 offset. The ride of the car also feels 100x better! Hope this helps!

O yah if anyone is interested!
