Default Just Got My TRD Lowering Springs Installed...

First of all i want to say that i am VERY happy. I think the drop is perfect; anything more would be too much, anything less would not be enough. The ride quality is great, there is hardly a noticable difference from stock. The amount of body roll on turns and curves has minimized . I don't expect to see any "handling" improvements untill i get better tires.

I think after a day or two, it will settle; however, i noticed one negative thing. The back is about half a fingerlenghth more dropped than the front (the opposite of what i was hoping for) But being that the front of the car is heavier, i'm hoping it will settle a little more than the back and come out to be about even.

I will be taking pictures soon and posting them. Along with some sound clips with the K&N CAI and TRD Exaust like i said i would.

Well...i've got the TRD springs as well...and have had them in for close to 2 months now. I've got the same "half finger" difference on mine too. I'm not sure how long it would take for the springs to settle...but i would have figured i'd have noticed it by now.

As a matter of fact, when i look at it...i do believe that both the front and back have maybe settled another 1/4 inch or so...but the back is still a bit lower than the front.

Oh well...i still love the look...and all things considered, it's a pretty minor issue to me.
