View Full Version : trd lowering springs sag?
muuunkeeyy 11-06-2008, 02:08 PM 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?
jonathan110987 11-06-2008, 02:09 PM omg... decide on springs already... just get h-techs...

muuunkeeyy 11-06-2008, 02:25 PM h-tech require no camber and the ride quality is still good right?
ahatch133 11-06-2008, 02:27 PM 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
jonathan110987 11-06-2008, 02:28 PM 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
muuunkeeyy 11-06-2008, 02:38 PM im throwing trds on my car as soon as i get some money in the bank. decided! fckin scion jon! good ___ picture of how it looks! h-tech are too low when they sag imo. lol stech is worst.

tcCALI 11-07-2008, 07:03 AM front sucks pretty bad, they are not like mine
seriously! what the heck happend mos def? i dont think he has struts/shocks.
scion_jon 11-07-2008, 07:25 AM it realy looks like its stock in front srsly
Mong1126 11-07-2008, 07:38 AM get the H-tech..
I have the Trd's, is a bit too high.
Mos_Def 11-07-2008, 07:41 AM 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.

muuunkeeyy 11-08-2008, 03:18 AM u failed to mention you were on full suspension lol. err..trds isnt the way i wanna go now lol.
scion_jon 11-08-2008, 03:19 AM I have a profile, you can find out that information there.....
Mos_Def 11-08-2008, 03:42 AM im on some 18X7.5 rims. 225/40/18 series tires. so i have no idea what went wrong, but dissapointed with drop.
scion_jon 11-08-2008, 03:43 AM ya i have the same setup, realy wierd
americandesi 11-09-2008, 08:10 PM 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
