Put at least a 2" drop on, I got the goldlines for $98. They look great, and the ride is good also

Drop on the TRDs is about 1.5". I have em and they look good. Plus no need to worry too much about scraping on speed bumps etc.

If you want a spring a bit lower than TRD but not too low like Tanabe or Goldlines then go with H&R. H&R drop is 1.5" front / 1.3" rear. IMHO they are the best choice with stock shocks as the ride is still very comfortable. Check out the pics:

I have the TRD kit and I don't scrape.. mind you, I don't drive like an idiot on ramps or speed bumps.

I got mine for 150 shipped from conicelli toyota in pensylvania. I got TRD because of quality and the fact that I think the 1.5 inch drop is perfect and the roads by me are terrible.
