yeah i was about to kill myself when i installed the TRDs and it wasnt as low as i wanted it. 4 months later i bought the stechs and put them on yesterday
so im selling my TRDs now since theyre brand new basically

a lot of people seem to avoid the s tech routes in the beginning when going on springs because there scared its tooo low. but really s techs arent even that low. I think s techs are only one of the few springs out for a tc that gives the tc a nice drop without too much wheel gap. I use to be able to go right over decent sized speed bumps head on without even worrying about scraping.

i agree with you on this one, i went with TRDs first becaue i thought stechs were to low for me but i wanted to shoot myself when i saw the drop because it was still too high and it was the first mod i did to my car, it still looked like a monster truck i was about to take my car to the monster jam lol.. anyways i love these stechs i think its a perfect drop and i definitely recommend it to anyone specially if you're on stockies

There's word that newer production S-Techs sit higher. For example: I have newer S-Techs and FlintMica2005 has older S-Techs. My car sits a tad higher. Could be because I am running Tokico shocks and he's on stocks shocks. If you drive with minor caution - you'll be fine on S-Techs. Even with the lip.
