There is going to be no change over slow speed driveways speedbumps, etc.

There is less tire rub and bottoming out over fast bumps and dips.

Would it be worth getting these shocks if I were using Tanabe Nf springs?

If you want better handling, yes.

Yes, these are a much better deal than the TRD parts.

If you end up getting them and need them installed, PM me.

TRD spring instructions say don't cut the bumpstops.

I would cut the stops, fwiw.

^ TRD only drops 1.5", probably not enough to need to cut the bumpstops.

To compare, the Tanabe DF210 instructions (1.8" drop) specifically call for cutting the stops in half.

and.... the thread lives on!
