05 SE... I think I'm in need of a new suspension at 80K miles...

So I have been running stock struts since new and TRD springs and TRD rear sway bar installed in 2007. I am getting what the tire places call cupping on my rear tires badly (Yokohama S-drives). Very noisy and a vibrating ride during slower speeds (15-20mph). I guess a new set of struts will help this? I also feel like the susspension is bottoming out over speed bumps as well.

What I need is recommendations on new struts, springs and a set of tires (225/50/18). I don't want anything too agressive, but I don't want to deal with future issues either (cupping, spring knocking, etc...)

And should I also replace the strut mounts at this time or should the stock ones still be OK?

I would say that your TRD springs are fine buy replace all 4 struts with KYB's and then get a 4 wheel alignment !!!!

rockauto.com. They should sell both kyb struts and kyb mounts there. i don't know how the kyb mounts are though, i think the mounts would be something to go oem for.

Shipping was over $50 to California when I added to my cart. Tire Rack seemed to have comparable prices and lower shipping. I may order from them. Thanks.

np, Tire Rack is also a great place to buy from. They probably have warehouses in or nearby cali, that's why shipping is cheaper.
