those of u running aftermarket springs on OEM shocks...anybody blow them yet? i'm just curious on scion's OEM shock's durability....

 

running goldline springs and my oem shocks are blown. such a harsh ride at times. i'm saving up for TRD shocks.

 

Ive had my TRD's for about 8 months now, i i can feel them starting to go, but nothing major

 

hahaha

TEIN s.techs and my shocks been blown. i've put 30k on my springs and stock shocks... yup they are gone. bonucy bouncy bouncy

 

TRD shocks/springs, for about 6 months. Still rides the same as day one

 

Well thats not supposed to happen. wouldn't that be classified under warranty work?

 

Yes, especially since it's only been 8 months. Actually, technically I think it had to have been installed by the dealership.

 

i lived at these apartments for 2.5 years...I'm SO glad we dont have speed bumps...although I just got the car a month ago and have TRD Springs Stock Shocks.

 

Tein s-techs for about 6-7 months now. Still feels pretty stiff but i feel some bounciness at times kicking in

 

i have TRD Springs and Stock Shocks too and been riding on it since august.

quick question to everyone. i noticed lately that my Tire Pressure Light is on which is located underneath the tach. i did check the tire pressure and made sure that my stock tires are at 32 PSI but the light still hasn't turned off. could it be possible that the tire pressure sensor is thrown off because i haven't done the alignment after i installed the TRD springs since august?

thanks in advance!

 

your supposed to press the reset button in ur glove compartment.. i don't kno the procedure but i think thats what ur supposed to do.

 

i knew there's some way to reset it but i didn't know. so that's what that button is for. i'll check the owner's manual to see if there is a method that you're supposed to follow when resetting.

thanks for the info!

 

32 on front tires, 28 on rear.

or maybe the other way around. damn. look on the sticker on the inside of your door jam.

 

while stopped, press and hold the reset button in the glove box until the light goes out.

 

thank you very much for the info! i'll re-check the proper PSIs on the tires.

 

TRD lowering springs for over a year and my stock shocks feel fine .

 

how you know its blown? it gets bouncy or something?

 

You can try pushing down on the car, compressing the springs, then let go. If the car bounces more than 3-4 times before settling, I'd get the shocks checked.

 

you guys are scaring me . i was looking into springs.

 

You should be fine getting just springs, but eventually you'll need to get new shocks. You probably won't have to worry until you build up some mileage on your car.

From what I've seen though, the cost of TRD shocks and any brand springs is getting close to the price of TEIN Basics. TRD Sparks has the springs+shocks for $599. I'd rather do everything at once, but not everyone can afford that. If you decide to just get springs, start saving up for some shocks. You should have the money by the time you really need them that way.
