i agree, that's a horrible drop, the back is way lower than the front. it should be the other way around if anything. the back looks like a 2" drop and the front look like 1.5"

this is the same problem i noticed with the TRD springs but nobody seems to want to acknowledge this. the drop is slightly more in the back than in the front. but not as bad as this.

Well, they're adjustable, so you can adjust them however you want. It looks to me like the car is level, but the rear wheel well is actually lower than the front. That's probably as low as you'd want to go with stock struts. It might even be too low. I wonder how much the ride suffers.

maybe they got confused and thought they were a mini pickup on 20's with bags and felt the need to try and make the ___ end scrape? heh... i realize theyre adjustable, but to take pictures of your product like that, is just terrible IMO.. makes me not wanna even bother with it.
