How much longer should the struts on my stock 2005 tC--which has 40,000 miles on it--last if i have it lowered on TRD Springs?

For obvious reasons I'd rather not spend the extra $460 on new struts but I also don't want to have to pay someone to install struts any time soon. I would do the installations myself but I don't know what I'm doing and i'm afraid I'd break something and have to pay even more money to have it fixed.

 

I have run TRD springs since about 15,000 miles and am now at 62,000. However, I would probably just save up for a while and install the struts too if I were starting at 40,000.

 

I had the springs installed when I had less than 10k on the car. I haven't had to change the struts/shocks until now (about 126,000 miles).

 

ive had trd springs on my car for 30k miles and my shocks are still fine.

 

70000 on mine and still good

 

TRD is a miniscule drop so it really isn't gonna blow ur stock shocks so quickly like other springs(tein s-techs). so chances are u might not even have to change ur shocks/struts for awhile

 

Stock - 13k
Progress - 30k
S-Techs - 30k

Still fine after 3 different sets of springs and 73k miles..

 

^^^ did you like your progress's springs did they ride well?

 

I like them better than my current S-Techs as far as handling goes. The ride was very nice, actually.

I switched to S-Techs because I wanted to go lower but the Progress stance definitely looks good as well.

 

how was the alighnment with the progresses and the stock struts ? even tire wear?
