i guess it would do nothing but improve the look of my car, which is a good thing. whats the price range on them?

I used VHT paint, it wasn't specifically caliper paint, just heat resistant.

they ok to get? and do you also need a strut bar?


** also found ones on ebay for 50 bucks brand new.. idk what the brand is but here's the link. let me know if they are worth buying, i like the ARK one's but still a little too pricey for me atm.

well i would really really really like the purple d2 ones

i just have to start saving up money for them.. is a 1.9" too low? because i don't want it extremely low, just enough so you people stop calling it a 4x4 =P and so i dont bottom out!!

Yeah I was the same way when I got my tC. I was like "I'm never lowering this car"

Well come my first year anniversary and I am on TRD springs...and I love them. They work with stock struts and the car looks clean now. Not much of a drop, but def. not a 4x4 anymore.

Do what you want with YOUR car...don't listen to the SL Spring ****'s

I was rolling on TRD springs for awhile before I got my coils. I only ever scraped when I had 7 people in my car, which was a bad idea to begin with, lol.
