seems like one more hijack won't hurt soo...

can i run the DFs or NFs on TRD shocks/struts? and if so would there be much benefit over the stock struts?

I'm guessing that it would be fine. The TRD shocks are going to be much firmer then the OEM ones on the car, so there should be no side effects such as bottoming out. But since it's going to be alot firmer, you should already know that the ride is going to be a bit stiffer instead of a smooth luxury ride.

Tokico > TRD

I've tried both, and both are great shocks/struts, but I think Tokico pricing is more favorable.

can you give us some insight on the tokicos? I'm thinking of running tokico blues and TRD lowering springs, kind of curious how it will work out.

It will work out great, when you get a performance spring it is stiffer so when the spring compresses it bounces back with more energy and force, the performance struts/shocks are valved to have firmer rebound dampening to solve that issue, Cheers!
