Counting threads is not difficult at all lol

Not sure too, aren't Monroe's sold at Sears I guess depends what Monroe's you get.........coilovers are ok but generally you set them once and never touch them again, you can go lower with coilovers but the ride gets harder and then you have to deal with rolling and/or pulling fenders on top of that..
I know the IS comes with Tokicos stock, but not withe the Blues those are an upgraded strut
I like the springs and struts idea cause it's just a mild drop and the combo can last for many years....plus its relatively comfortable, although not like stock .

It is like anything else, there are brands that you haven't heard great things about. Would you buy Autolight plugs for your car, or Denso. Would you buy Monroe shocks, or Bilstein. I have never seen a Monroe equipped TRD vehicle. Does Monroe make the F-Sport Shocks? I thought it was Bilstein. A friend of mine got KYBs for his van and he liked them. Another friend got the KYB AGX and they were nice. But sure Monroe's for everyone. I am disappointed the Bilstein doesn't have shocks other than the F-Sports for the IS. I have the HDs on my BMW. I think they are almost too harsh for bad roads. BMW is great at making a combination of ride and handling. I don't think the regular Bilsteins were available when I bought. I got them around 100k, I felt that the factory ones were about done. Never needed another set and if I did, they would pay for them.

I would recommend getting coil overs probably BC Racing or Megan Racing depending on your budget.

can get full set of the bilstein F Sport shocks for $730 shipped on ebay. They were a huge upgrade, ride quality was so much better when I changed the 06 shocks out

Are you using factory spring or lower? i'm keeping it stock for my daily commute. Also, why is front part# different between left and right?
