What the hell kinda lowering springs cost a grand!! Thats what i want to know! If its TRD, there a grand cuz Toyota marks them up 100%! Get some TEIN's! $900.00 wel spent with full up and down adjustability.

the $900 includes cost of install. The springs cost $200. Since I don't have a lift at home and value my warranty. . .this is a good option.
again, i'd like to hear from those who have the springs and how much they do/don't like them.

The only benefit from getting the factory installed springs and/or shocks is to keep the warranty, and have a moded car.
Factory parts are more reliable, and if they brake, and cause damage to your car it's a lot easier to get the vehicle fixed, when a company like TOYOTA is backing it up.

I'm still wondering why you guys are paying so much for springs. I bought my springs and sway bar as a package deal from trdsparks.com for $192 with no shipping. My dealer installed them and aligned everything for $135. That's only $327 total. I think that you guys might be getting screwed if you're paying more than $500 total for trd springs and install.
BTW the trd springs are great as long as you're not paying out the arse for them. I think they look nice and clean especially if you've got stock wheels. Any lower of a drop and it would make the stock wheels look tiny and stupid. And they ride especially nice with the sway bar too!
