If you are referring to Tein S techs springs then yes, the install process should be the same as Trd Springs.
You do know how to install new springs right ?

As long as you have a spring compressor , patients, socket set, other basic tools, and knowledge, then you should be fine.

For S-Tech, remember to cut the stock bump stop to avoid bottom out. Although the manual only state the measurements for the 9th gen, but I followed the 9th spec when I was doing mine....no problem at all.
