I want to replace the factory springs with TRD and was told that the stock shocks will be ok. Has anyone had any problems with this set up..

Just want to lower the appearance and possible mod the exhaust..

Will the lifetime of the factory shocks be really cut down ?

Any help will be appreciated.. thanks again..

It won't kill the struts b/c the TRD shocks aren't too low to start with. But, it will deminish their life a little bit. How much? Hard to tell b/c road conditions and driving patterns vary person to person.
