I am thinking about getting a set a Infinity Kappa 60.7cs for my T4R. I have a single disc Scion HU. The new '06 Kappas have a sensitivity rating of 95 and are 2 ohms. I believe this means they are more efficient and need less power. Am I correct? I really don't want to buy an amp right now. All opinions welcome and appreciated.

I wouldn't say they are more efficient and require less power. The speakers will still draw in the same rated power, it's just you will require a different power output from your amp.
Example: 100 watts @ 2 OHMS, is the same as 50 watts @ 4 OHMs.
However, there are also different wiring conditions, such as running them in series and parallel, in the case of running 2 ohm parrallel you will create a 1 OHM resistance which might create some problems with your amp. (being stable @ 1 ohm) However in most cases, I am going to assume that you're going to run a single channel to each speaker (thats what I would do) its going to cost a little more, but it will be better.
I hope this is informative somewhat.

The 2 ohm Kappas are nice, I have 2 pairs of the 06's. Allows you to utilize the amp to it's total power output if the amp is 2ohm stable across all channels. Mine is something like 45w@4ohms and 90w@2ohms per channel for 4 channels. And the Kappas can take 100w RMS @ 2 ohms I believe, so it works out perfect. LOUD and clear bro, you won't be disappointed in those, for their price, especially on ebay.
