I think a 1.5 drop looks good on them.

Wow. That's super low. I don't know about that.

thats sweet. but i am obessed with dragging bottom..

and yes a 1.5 inch drop on the tC is nice.. so if you want it dropped but not slammed i say 1.5

Haha, snow plow.
Try some Tein S's

now that the springs have settled in (take a week or two) and have about 5k on them, my drop comes in at right about an even 2". Has never rubbed

All I used were the Arospeed 1.5/1.75 springs for a Echo (box is heavier.. so the drop is more) - say what most want to say, and even I had reservations about them - but I think they've been great. They ride well, the drop is fine, they fit well, were inexpensive etc etc. I could've easily bought any spring set on the market - and I'm perfectly happy with the 'cheap' ones I got (which come in at a perfect - IMHO- 2")

if i had a tc i would definately drop it 2"....the car would look extremely sexy

Im havinging my Tc droped 2"
ive seen one that had it done and its noot too much

id say 2 inch for tc that or 2.5

Would you say the drop is even? Or is there a rake towards the front or back with these springs? Thanks

I have the same springs. I've had good luck with them as well. My only complaint is they creak(when you get in and out) a little after about 10k Miles.

My factory springs do that.

My question is, what companies make a kit for the tc? I am looking to go low, but don't want coilovers. somewhere around two inches. can someone point me in the right direction?

You know you are too low when you get high centered on a speed bump "crab walking" over it.

You know when you are too low when you can light a cigarette from the sparks coming from underneath your car... :D

haha :lol: . you know you're too low when you have to look up at the fart can the civic infront of u is runnin :wink:

That's a body dropped dually on bags, it doesn't always sit that low.

any one have any input on the TRD springs and struts??? I bought the trd coils for my matrix....and well the life on them hasn't been the longest.

That truck was a giveaway truck and a girl that had no clue what she had won it. That is my ultimate dream truck.I drooled over that thing for about a year.

That is indeed very very low.

I would say just drop it low enough to make the wheel gap even all around.

dude ive never seen a hummer slammed :shock:

ohh and I would go with atleast a 2" drop

That red hummer belonged to Ken Caminiti before he died. There is also a black one that site that low. Both were built by a shop called Ekstensive (sp?)

that hummer is wicked cool. wonder what it looks like in person

i would always go at least 1.5 and if you feel you need to go lower go 2

it also depends on your driving areas and stuff and how hard you will drive it and if your gonna put in a stereo or if your riding with fat people or you have 18's or 19's etc etc etc

in NY i would only drop my xB a bout 1.5 but now that im down here in NC i'll go 2.0-2.2

have you personally seen any tC's dropped lately. ask around or ask the dealer if they have one with the TRD springs already in it

Actually, the "girl" that had the truck has had 2 cover trucksand here is Mississippi the weather is just not good enough to drive that thing in. It was too big to fit in her garage and she had to rent a storage spot forit. It was for sale on E-bay and Streetsourcemag.com for a long time and sold for around $16,000, so you could have owned. It rides very sweet to be on juice and not air. Just my $.02 worth.[/quote]

There is no such thing as too low. No such thing. But that's from a Minitrucker's perspective.

Eh, when you start getting worm guts on the bumper, you're just about there. :mrgreen:

But the Hummer...crazy shiz. :shock:
