Little or no performance gain is probably right. I like the word “little” that you stated. A little is a little and it helps. The looks will be improved a bit as well, as it reduces the fender gap. I found some post where people found the TRD springs to be harsher, however, myself and my wife as a passenger noticed and improved quality of riding comfort. I installed the TRD swaybar set as well for a more thorough or complete suspension system. The TRD lowering springs are designed to work with the stock struts. Since there covered under warranty (from my understanding) if the strut breaks it should be covered. You may want to consider the TRD’s, considering they were intended and designed by Toyota to be used with the stock struts..This link actually says that in the description.
