can you guys tell me what the difference is between the white and the red trd springs? besides the obvious (color).

someone told me that without adding some other kind of suspension mod, the red ones could mess up my car...im kinda confused as to why. or if thats even a true statement.

could he have been talking about shocks?

 

I was told by trdsparks...that the white ones are discontinued and replaced with the red ones which he said are the same besides the color....i brought them and there fine!

 

That is a false statement. They're the same springs, different color.

Yes, he could have been talking about shocks (technically struts, not shocks), as some people feel you shouldn't upgrade springs w/o upgrading the shocks too. The thing is, if he felt that way it should pertain to both color springs, since they have the same specifications, aside from color.

That said, many people here have had the TRD springs installed (both colors) with the stock struts, no problems at all after many miles. If money isn't an issue, then it'd be nice to get TRD struts to go with the springs, but it's certainly not required.

If you want the springs, go for it, no worries.

 

The Red Springs sit differently than the White ones...

I know people w/ the Red springs and the front end sits Higher!

 

Been running TRD springs (the white ones) on the stock struts for about 95000 miles now...no problems so far (knock on wood).

 

they are both the same

 

Werd.

My friend has the white ones and I have the red ones and we have the same drop.

The whole thing about the colors being different is just a conspiracy theory... It's all the same thing.

Then there are those that didn't install it correctly...

 

x3.....let me know when you get them.....so we can figure out the install stuff.....

 

yah i will, los...thanks again for your help yesterday. im so stoked! your sooo right about me needing the hid's NOW though...haha. Imma order them next week after i pick up the springs on Thursday.

 

....if you need help installing those....you know who to call....no need to thank me....BTW they really looked good last night when you were driving behind me.....

 

*knocking*

 

yeah im taking it one thing at a time...

i think i'll pick up the springs, and find a place to install them next monday cause i have off from work. and then do the hid's afterwards. im probably going to order them on tuesday...im thinking 5000k? i dont wanna go very blue. i'll take a ride up there if you guys wanna help me install them. im sure they'll be easier than the fogs. i wanna try it.

tints after those are done.

oh i didnt tell you...haha. lastnight i stopped at a rest stop to get a soda and a state trooper came up to me and started talking to me whel i was sitting in my car with the door open. rob didnt put the cover back on the the fuse box so i was trying to fix it. and i was like...go d dammit theyre gonna start annoying me already about the lights....but he just asked if i was okay.

 

He forgot to what?.....lol.....sorry i should have rechecked....

 

the cover for the wiring for the fogs and where im assuming fuses are. he didnt put the cover back on. wasnt a big deal, i just pulled over to put it in. it was on the floor between my feet.

 

sorry.....:\

 

haha, no need to apologize. i didnt see it either til i felt it on the floor. i put it back in in two second.

 

Well the good part is that you put it back on in two seconds...

 

oh so i found out the springs im getting are red. my friend has em right now. i was so tempted to drive up there lastnight since i was halfway there already but i never wouldve made it through work today. gotta wait til thursday...i have no patience.

 

I have no patience either.....

i'm suprised you're still up after driving last night and 14 hours of work today.....what a tropper....high five....lol

 

yeah im only up cause im freakin starving. i havent eaten since 11 this morning. ugh. ive got abother 14 hour day tomorrow.

whats gonna suck even more is that ill have the spring in my possession on thursday but wont be able to get them installed until monday/tuesday of next week. dammit.
