Yeah, pretty much. I just like having parts that are designed with oem application in mind. I figure STI and TRD have had the platform to R&D parts longer than any other aftermarket manufacturer. Also, they're designed to completely pair with the OEM shocks. For me especially, I went with STI (TRD is the same drop and I believe even the same spring rate) because it gave just over a half inch drop, which is enough to make the wheel gap symmetric all around, which was the look I wanted. Again, you can't go wrong with RCE or Swift (my brother has the RCE yellows on his FR-S).

I can't say for sure as I have the STI, but since I don't think there are any differences between the two, they should. Turn in is a lot more responsive and the car feels more stable with less roll in the corners. Both STI and TRD springs are designed to work with OEM shocks so you don't need to change them out.
