This HAS to be the most asked question on the forum.

Sim. drop to the TRDs are Tein H techs and Tanabe NF's.

More drop and better handling are Goldlines (most recommended), Tien S Techs, Tanabe DF's.

There's many more, but those are the most popular. You can get a set for ~$150. Installation is pretty easy to a DIYer.

Oh, warranty. Yes, they will affect your warranty in so far as the suspension components that may be affected. If you want to pay 1K to have a dealer install the TRD's then they might be nicer to you if something breaks.
