thats not low enough... even bigger wheels
but if u want warranty, go with TRD

i got them on mine and the 18" trd wheels... after the thing settles for about a month it gets to be about 1.25-1.5.. i'd say more towards 1.5... mine feels like it's still getting lower. reeaal comfortable ride though, cept for the damn low profile tires, feel all them little bumps.

Me too... I have 19" rims and with a full size spare and sub enclosure it rides just above the tire on the rear, on the front it is about .5 above it. I have the Waydo struts as well and the ride is smooth compared to cars I have been in with just a spring change. After I get the rest of the parts back from powder coating, I will be changing the struts and springs for some HKS coilerovers had these things for over a month now... I might sell the TRD springs and Waydo Struts only 6-7k miles on them if the HKS work out. If anyone is interested dmoulton@cabeperformance.com

On those TRD Springs, I am having the dealer install the 1" Drop Springs, what is the compression rate that these will start to give ?

Meaning if I have 2 fat old ladys that weigh 250lbs each, will it sag in the back and hit the wheesl or will they hold pretty good as compared to my factory springs.

Thanks

I had 4 guys about 240-280lbs. in my xb and it sat just above the wheels and I was still able to take speed bumps with out bottoming out, but I am sure it depends on your wheel size shocks/struts...

i was thinking of getting the trd springs with the 18" trd wheels but leaving the struts stock. how would that ride? and what's the warranty on trd stuff anyways?

If they are installed by the dealer, the TRD parts are covered under your car's warranty. If they aren't installed by the dealer, they are warranted for 1 year...

that's the setup i got on my xa right now... rides nice and smooth... but, because of the tires being so skinny you do feel bumps like no other. i don't even notice it anymore, that and the ride is louder, you can hear the tires.
