That's basically my question. I was searching, but I couldn't find the specific answer, since most people simply post up the 1.2" drop that is labeled by TRD. Anyways, so I was just wondering if anyone knew what the final drop was after the TRD springs would settle, and how long you felt it took before the springs settled. Thanks again guys =)

I havent measured it but it is a noticeable difference than brand new, i would say in the rear my top of the tire is even with the wheel well and the front is about 3/4 inch gap, trd springs are awesome way better than the eibachs ive had on previos cars but i will probably be putting on some 2" drop springs in the middle of the year next year( i just want to keep my warranty a little longer!) i reallly dont want to change them except i want to go a little lower and stiffer.
if trd makes 2" springs in the future i will definitly be getting them

any other q's?

oh i forgot something it is actually a 1.25" drop in the front and a 1.5" drop in the rear

Actually, I felt the same way. I definitely love the way it looks, but I would have liked it just a TAD bit lower. But then again, I don't know if a TAD bit lower would eventually lead to "slammed" when the springs settled in. That's why I decided to stick with the TRD springs for now. Also, I agree that the stiffness isn't what I thought it would be. I was hoping for a BIT more stiffness because I realize that it's still fairly soft. Granted that I get to keep most of my ride quality, I was just hoping for that little bit more on the performance end. In any case though, I am loving it nonetheless, and it's a dangerous thing to start modding your car...because you just don't wanna stop! Uh oh...I'm digging a very dangerous hole for myself...

there's no sagging with TRD springs. sagging or settling is caused by how the springs were designed and made. we had trd springs on our black demo tC back in June and we had it for 5 months and there were no changes in ride height. we just installed the springs on our indigo ink tC and it looks the same.

Thanks for the heads up Rich. =) Really appreciate it. Guess I am gonna just learn to be satisfied with what I already got. Perhaps in the future, I will get a different set of springs, but for now, it seems that this is what I got. Thanks for the replies guys. =) Peace out!
