I already have the TRD springs installed on my '08. I am intoxicated with how the Tanabe DFs look as it appears much lower in pictures. A few questions:

1. Anyone have any numbers or a guess on what the TRD lowering is? 1 inch? 1.5?

2. Those that go through parts or Gen1 owners...Is there a market for my used (2650 miles) TRD springs?

3. I have never done a camber kit as this is the first ride I have lowered. Is there a specific kit for our Gen2 or do camber kits come in a variety of "standard" applications?

Sorry if these questions are noob-like, but that is what I am. Here is a pic of my xB to get some opinions how much more drop should be expected with Tanabe or if even needed.

With Tanabe DF210s it should be about 1" lower front and rear. I'd leave it as-is since I don't like scraping body panels and bottoming out over speed bumps. I also have snow to consider.

here tanabe's on DF"S i luv it i pmd u....

I got your PM. I am at work and will respond as soon as I can.... Sounds appealing to me :)

got da trd springs also I like it alot i got some 19's petros staggered 19x9.5 rear 19x7 front on da xb with trd rear sway bar and trd strut tower rides real smooth no scrapping or bottoming out

not too familiar with suspensions but i know you wont have a problem selling used springs, especially with such low miles. of course you'd have to sell them for less than $200 since you can get new ones for that.
I'd buy them off of you but i have a good deal from a friend that works at a dealer. unless.......... how much would you sell them for shipped? 02148

I'm in love with my TRD's, just install and align. No rubs or scraps on 19's and it still rides nice, can't beat it.

I'm putting my recently purchased TRD springs on next weekend.

Hey guys I want to get the trd springs but I was wondering how long will the stock struts last with lowering springs? Is trd going to come out with an upgraded one for us?

i'm sure it'll last a good amount of time since its not that big of a drop and its OEM, so i'm sure they took that into consideration

I heard you can run it a good year on the stock struts and then by then trd should release some new ones
