Default Cheapest price to buy new TRD Lowering Springs for the tc?

McGeorge has it for $151.11 shipped. I did a search on this forum as well as on google and couldn't find anything cheaper. Does anyone know of any websites out there that might have it for less? Any discount codes would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

EDIT:

How would you compare the H&R springs to the TRD as far as ride quality and need of shocks. I beleive the H&R drop is 1.4 in the front and 1.3 in the back.

if your going to be running on stock shocks/struts i would recomend going with trds. anything lower will be taking a big risk.
i also ordered, from mcgeorge i would recomend them for anything. i love the drop on my trds. anything lower you would be riding on the ground

Well... you replied a little too late. I ordered my springs from mcgeorge already ($150 shipped). Just out of curiosity, how long did you have your TRD Springs on your car?

trdsparks.com has it for $146 shipped, not a major savings but it's cheaper.

Actually i checked out trdsparks.com before i purchased the springs. To have it shiped to my area, the total would come out $154.73. So McGeorge was a little cheaper for me

The TRD springs are offered to be installed from dealer, which kinda mean they are meant for the tC. And most dealers accept the suspension warranty with the TRD springs, so your suspension w/ TRD springs will still be under warranty. But better check with you dealer. I got mine installed today, awesome drop, not too much of a drop, very good looking!

When I get more $$$, I will be gettin' the TRD springs. I just want to lower it a tad. Not drop it too much. I will pay the extra $$$ to get them from trdsparks.com. They have excellent cust. service! That really didn't answer your ?

Do you really think it was worth it to get the shocks and struts, being that the drop is only 1.25"

Oh and Arent' shocks and struts the same thing?

Yeah your stock shocks aren't gonna last with a drop as sever as 2-2.5 inches. I think mcgoergeparts.com has the springs for the best price.
