Just tring to get an idea of what everyone here is using, and what is best for overall performance. comfort is not my primary concern either. not interested in a coilover setup yet. just springs and a good set of shock/struts. any suggestions are welcome. :biggrin:

There are no options as far as shocks go. You can keep your stock or buy the TRD. I am putting on the DF with the TRD since there isn't a choice for shocks. There are millions of different springs out there.

did you get your trd shocks done a the dealership or on your own? just curious if its worth paying for it to be done for warranty reasons...

Oh, I'll be putting them on myself. If you let them install the TRD suspension at Toyota you'll have warranty but if you want aftermarket springs for whatever reason you can forget about the warranty anyway.

Can I really have them install my TRD springs and have warranty on it?

Well, since Toyota sells and intalls Toyota Racing Development parts I would say yes. I'm not a rep though but that just seems like common since. I would be very surprised that they wouldn't honor the warranty on their own parts. It is going to cost you more buying through the dealership and paying them for the install but if you are worried about your suspension being under warranty that would be the way to go. I am not at all worried about my suspension being under the warranty. Probably the only thing that will go is CV joints and they don't cover those anyway. Just my thoughts on the subject.

TRD springs with TRD struts is a nice combo. Unless you want a little more drop then get Tanabe DF210 springs with TRD struts.
