If you are gettting springs, you should get shocks at the same time. Otherwise you will have problems with your stock shocks in the long run

Yes. I would do both at the same time. If you replace just your springs it might seem ok at first. But the life of your shocks will suffer big time. Ive seen peoples stock shocks with aftermarket springs get messed up after just a few months. Also if your having them installed somewhere it should be the same price to install springs or springs and shocks.

I have 5zigen GT8 wheels. Rod Millen front lip and rear spoler

Well.. I have the CUSCO sways and I cant complain about them. They made a pretty big difference. I give them the thumbs up. A lot of people have the TRD sway bars and Ive heard nothing but good things about them. You cant really go wrong with either brand

When you get aftermarket springs get some aftermarket shocks too. If you just put just springs in, your stock shocks will not last very long. So I would recommend doing both at the same time.

If you don't want to void the factory warranty, get the springs and shocks installed at a Lexus dealership. The cost of the install alone is around $300-350. But if warranty is not a major concern of yours, you might save alittle money having the install done at your local speedshop. Don't quote me on this, but I think this only applies to L-tuned springs/shocks.

Just a FYI..
