It looks like what works best right now is a combination of TRD and SE springs. Until a company brings out a TCH specific system.
You referenced a circular link. That is my post over at TN.com, and the first sentence reads "For those who haven't already seen this over at the GreenHybrid forum, I just lowered my Camry Hybrid."

Here is the corresponding thread on this forum which includes all the same history of this thread:
