Shri2222 03-20-2005, 05:25 AM i'ed say hotchkis would be stiffer spring rate then the TRD, not sure but the TRD are factory option, i doubt they'ed jeopordise ride quality to much, hotchkis is performance minded prob a stiffer spring rate stiffer ride and better handeling Wide_tC 03-21-2005, 06:01 PM Our springs just came in and are available. Here is the info on them. Sport Spring Set 2005-Up Scion TC Drop: Front - 1.7" (43mm) Rear - 1.97" (50mm) Spring Rates: Front - 175 (Stock 150) Rear - 285 (Stock 245) Hope this helps you out. TGScion 03-21-2005, 08:41 PM Why are the hotchkis lower ther rear 1.97 and front 1.7 when everyone else is opposite? TRD 1.5 front 1 rear, Tein S 2.5 front 2 rear, Tein H 1.9 front 1.5 rear. I'm new to this, first car I am doing any mods for so I just would like to know the difference. dmikon 03-21-2005, 11:40 PM Yeah, I noticed that too. I think it looks a lot better and give you better visibility of the road if the car is lower in the front. romper145 03-22-2005, 01:08 AM Our springs just came in and are available.

Wide_tC 03-24-2005, 12:19 AM As for the lowering. We found that the stock car is high in the back. We did it to level out the car. For romper145 we do not have an introductory price. For shock and struts you can run the stock ones but an upgrade to a performance shock and strut is always a good idea. TGScion 03-24-2005, 11:43 AM Since you are leveling out the back will this present any problems with adding audio equipment or possibly having a couple friends in the back? If possible are their pics available yet so we can see the difference between some of the different sets? Thank you for your information.
