^yea your convincin me. How much are the TRD springs and can you install em yourself? or is it better to take it somewhere?

 

The MSRP is $200, although I know they are available online for about $150. You definitely can install them yourself, but I didn't have enough skill or experience to do that, so I let the dealership do it. I actually got the whole TRD package - springs, shocks, struts, front tie bar, rear sway bar. It makes the tC feel totally awesome to drive.

How much was the package? Thanks for the advice man.

 

It was a lot, but I think it was worth it. I probably could have saved some more money by shopping around, but this is approximately what I paid...

TRD lowering springs: $200
TRD front strut tie bar: $150
TRD rear sway bar: $150
TRD shocks and struts: $500

I think installation was about $400. I could have saved a lot on installation if I knew how to do it myself, or if I had some friends who could hook me up, but I preferred to let the dealership do the work. It was a brand new car at the time, so I was mostly paying for peace-of-mind.

Btw, here is a link to the lowering springs for $160:

^^^yep i agree. going up driveways go up at a angle and 1 to 2 mph you'll be fine. i have a RS1 lower front lip on the stock 17 with no problem. i never even thought twice about scraping on anything when i had my 18's. so if you want i'll sell you my springs for 100 bucks?? i'll take you for a ride in my car if your wondering the ride quality?? or anything of that source. let me know

 

Cool i'll start saving up for this stuff

 

Sounds good but i don't know about springs so i won't know wat to look for. lol

 

yo... a lift kit does NOT belong on a tC!

 

i should have my coilover's by the end of january so if your interested let me know so i don't sell them else where

 

Huh? Who was talkin about a liftkit?

 

^^^that guy has a FUZZY DICE! that doesnt belong in a tC

 

yea man if you get the trd springs and sway bar it will be like night and day - ive had that set up for over a year with no problems

 

Wow VRD made an affordible RS2 grill copy

BTW you should really look at replacing your driving light. So its not so dingy compared to your other lights

Do a search for "The definitive PIAA Super White" and youll come up on my thread with pics of how it looks and links for purchase.

 

^Yea i've been meaning to switch it out

 

x2.

got my sway bar waaay back in november 04 for 85 bucks on mcgeorge parts and the springs for 150...

 

x3. $150 for Springs. $100 for installation. $100 for alignment and you'd be set. (For now.)
