they are supposedly lower 1.25 all around. i am not sure if i want to get these. i was wanting maybe a 1.5 or 1.7 drop but after sag. i was wondering if the trds sag to 1.5 or 1.7. anyone have any pictures of the wheel gap?

the TRD are good springs i have them on mine and i would recomend them i mean it also depends on where you live.. i live in michigan and i can go to low cause in the winter ill be a damn snow plow but if u live in miami you can be sittin on the ground and have no problem ive heard good things about h-techs but TRD r good also so its a toss up

yea...

my stechs have perfect camber without buying camber bolts and camber kits... perfect tire wear... so im sure htechs are the same...

just have to get it aligned right... donmcgill of katy aligned mine and they are perfect

honestly idk what happened. i was dissapointed with the trd's. i shoulda just put on the htechs i had bougth, but i was worried about scraping my front lip, so i went trd. the front is a little lower now, but not as much as the rear. i was even more dissapointed that i need a camber arms for the rear.

tccali- those are on my stock struts.

Wow, i was planing on getting TRDs, now im not lol.
this thread is relevant to my interest.

Htechs are the next best option that doesn't require cambers.
or hotchkis
