4 months on H&Rs, 7 months on Tanabe Super Downs. Almost a year of riding on springs with stock struts, and still going ok. No probs so far, and the struts seem to be holding up pretty well.

Plus with GC, your handling is going to go out the window. Lowering a car will make it handle better until a certain point. Get Hotchkis or H&R if you want a drop that's lower than TRD.

I have a 2" drop by Goldline. I've had them for about 3 months.
Before I put in Goldlines, I had the TRD springs for almost 2 years.
My shocks are completely ok. No problems yet. Knock on wood! :)

I've had TRD springs for about 5months and no problem so far. Ride quality is superior.

Superior to what?
I've been on TRD springs for almost a year now and have had no problems. I normally drive slow over bumps/driveways/speedbumps, well i kinda have to with my kit. The TRD's settled A LOT. But i have no probs with the stock struts or shocks... all is good on my end :)
