Me! Actually I'm about to get some H&R Coilovers because I've become dissatisfied with the height/ride of the TRD's, I got the TRD's for the same reason as you did, but I'm tired of them - they don't seem quite low enough.

Ok, first of all, learn how to type and talk correctly on a computer LOL. Let me re-type your sentence for you. "Your talking about driving on 18" wheels, on low-profile tires, dropped on stiff springs, and you think its going to be a factory quality ride?"

If that was typed then yes, I live on a dirt road that can get muddy in the rainy season. The road can also get pretty sugary, meaning the thin sand can get slippery underneath the low-profile tires. I would get coilovers, but for one they are expensive, and for two I do not want to be too low being that I live on this kind of road. But thanks for your input!

I think possibly what he was implying is that TRD does not equal factory ride quality, just because it is Toyota.
I like them, they get rid of some of the wheel gap to be acceptable without being too low to worry about a lot of clearance issues.
