If we count that as being accurate (AFTER settling), then the TRD makes the perfect 1" wheelgap with a 1" drop, which means that the Hotchkis is .7" lower in front and a full 1" lower in back and thus, handling would be EVEN worse.

However, the suspension FAQ says 1.25" and my car sure dropped more than an inch.

And here it is straight from TRDSparks:

TRD Lowering Springs lower the tC approximately 1.25”, front and rear

Now, Scion.com says they are 25mm, though, Sparks and McGeorge handle the springs all the time. And just LOOK at the pictures above. Compare to stock and it is easy to see that the car drops more than an inch. It it quite possible that the TRD are 1" when first put on and 1.25" when they settle. But in any instance, there is definitely more than a 1" drop. Enough people have before and after photos that I do not need to post mine.
