if you're willing to spend close to 600 bucks, i posted adj. shocks by Tokico. doesn't Tanabe or another company make lower tie bars? yeah, not much out...yet.

when you say relabled, you mean fake? never really heard to Tenzo before.

Tenzo is just crappy springs. Really these aren't fakes they are genuine shitbrand made in Argentina.

Yes Tanabe does the lower for a little price difference and in red. Don't care to spend that amount of money on shocks. I'll go with the TRD.

looks much better lowered, man.. That should really be the stock ride height, I think Toyota has some kind of back room deal with the major springs manufacturers. "We'll make our suspensions extra high, and we get 20% on all lowering kits you sell"

i wish i had more money for rims and tires, but my next mod will, and have to be tint.

the springs are made by Tein. i didn't want the TRD springs because they are progressive and don't offer the drop i want. i got the S.Tech's because it has a stiffer rear spring set up than the other companies, but are more expensive than them as well.

Tein says that the springs will lower the LB 1.9 inches. it should be a little more with the sedan. i forgot to take before and after pics, so can't say exactly what.
