Can't speek about the others, but I got the TRD Springs and Shocks/Struts. I have the TRD RH 19" wheels and it sits very nice. It does seem to me that the back sits lower than the front, but only slightly and maybe that is by design.

I've only had them installed for 3 weeks and I've been away for 2 of them, so I haven't even seen the car in two weeks. Maybe it has settled and is sitting lower or more even now.

I didn't want my car to look like a slammed "vato/homes" cruiser. I did want it to handle nice and ride a little lower than stock. That is exactly what I got.

The only way a warrenty can be "voided" is if you had an aftermarket part, and something went wrong that was a direct cause of that part.

Example: New fuel rail system installed by ____. You go in because you notice the motor is acting up and not sure what the problem is. Come to find out, theres a "minor problem" with the fuel rail, and you aren't getting enough fuel flowing. Now they look at that and say, well, its an aftermarket fuel rail...Something must of happened during install but we never installed this part, so we can't cover it with your warrenty. BUT! Your warrenty is still in effect if later on you had, oh lets just say intake problems. But, you have a stock intake. They would cover that regardless of the past "fuel line problem".

With that said, get what you want.

Does any body have SPRINT SPRINGS or Goldlines in their tC? If you don't, why?

What's so good about TRD and Tein S-Tech? Just curious, because everybody's renting and raving about these two. I know that TRD is a Eibach coil and Tein says they make their coils in Japan, but they're really made in Taiwan, I don't get it.
Is it because Tein is cheaper and TRD says TRD. Somebody fill me in please, because this is driving me crazy.
