Default TRD Shocks and Springs w/ 18"???

I juss wanted to knoe... how are the TRD Shocks and Springs on an xb with 18 inch wheels?? I dun want my car to be sitting up in the sky, but then again I also dun want it to be dragging on the floor. So far I'm leaning towards the TRD's, but juss wanna ask fer opinions. And also, does it look any good???

The trd springs are a mild drop so yeah you won't be draggin on the floor. With 18 inch wheels there will still be a wheel gap, so there is no worries about that. The shocks feel great too, so having them both will be a plus. :D Hope to see the pics up.

I didn't want a big drop either...

TRDs with 17" rims and 205/40/17 tires (18s should fill the wheel well better)


they've settled a bit more since this pic (minutes after install)

Default TRD?

The TRD's will give you a mild drop that will work with the 18's and improve the handling. You can check our prices here for a comparison. Parts in stock and we ship everyday at 5 EDT.

my vote goes to the Tanabe DF210s. yea theyre kinda low but they get rid of all that ugly wheel gap. if you want to go less aggressive, check out the Tein S-techs. Theyre inbetween DF210s and TRDs and give a better ride than both I'm told.


Moved...



wait... darn.. im not a mod

Waiting for the call that the parts are in.
