The only advantage I see with coilovers is if you need adjustability to slam/stance your car and/or stiffness for track use.
Got proof?
Yes I live in socal and I interact with variety of different aftermarket company. TRD usa hasn't made there own stuff in a while. Just like trd intake are made by aem, trd exhaust is made by borla or is it magnaflow I remember it American base company though. You will be surprise where a lot of things are made especially if you are in southern California.
