The TRD Coilovers have been discontinued and have to be special ordered. Also, these coilovers are really really stiff. There are other alternatives you might want to consider. Here is the info from one of my previous posts:

H&R's are around $950
Silk Road's $1500
Not sure about Kei b/c they are hard find (check the boards, you might get lucky. If I remember correctly jspec.com sells them, don't quote me though)
Zeals too expensive for me, never bothered to find the price you might be able to find some used on the f/s forums
JIC's FLT A2 $1800
K Sport $1200
Cusco Zero-2 $2150
Cusco Zero-2R $2500 (great reviews on the Cuscos)

Here are some other brands that make coilover kits too: Apex'i (special order), KW Suspension, Buddy Club ($1700 i think), HR (might not be for SW20), Toda Racing (appx. $2800), Invidia $1700, and Tein.

You can usually find some good set ups and their respective owner's opinions by the search, maybe a set of lightly used ones if you are lucky and don't mind getting one used. I would've gone with the Silk Roads if I had the extra money to spend. Although rare, you might be able to find some used (maybe even new) TRD Coilovers. But it all depends on what you are looking for: track/dd/etc.
