Congrats on tC v2.0!
I love the wheels! My wife and I are currently searching for just the right set of 18's for her tC. Please share the size (18x?, staggered?) and offset of those awesome TSW wheels (they would look great on her silver streak tC!!!).
Our tC has the TRD springs on the stock shocks. The ride comfort vs. stock is hardly noticeable. As I said in my previous TRD spring review, the ride is superior to stock with the improved control and feel (connected to the road, no "float") from a lower center of gravity and increased spring rates. Obviously, my vote is to get the TRD springs ASAP and take that sweet ride out of "4WD mode".
Anyone who tells you that TRD shocks are necessary with the TRD springs...well...has read too much and driven too little. If you add the TRD shocks to the TRD springs, the ride quality will diminish (vs. TRD springs and stock shocks) due to higher valve / damping rates in exchange for a marginal improvement in handling. I only wish you lived closer so you could drive our tC and judge for yourself.
Stay safe and best of luck with your new tC.
