Default How are the TRD Coilovers?

Hey searched but couldn't find what I was looking for.
I currently own a 2007 Scion tC (Black Sand Pearl).
I am trading it in for a 2010 Scion tC 5 Sp. (Nautical Blue)

I was thinking about getting the TRD Coilovers from the dealer but before I make my decision I want to see what they look like on the tC.

So if anyone can maybe post up a pick of their tC with the TRD Coilovers.. that would really help me out!!

Max drop pictures if possible!

I was told they were re-badged Progress Coilovers.

TRD anything usually is conservative. Drop wont be that low. Spring rates will be pretty soft. Quality will be substantial and done by Toyota mech so thats a plus. Id honestly go raceland :D just got mine! They look amazing!!

I'm assuming you don't like the 2011 model? How come you feel the need to purchase a new one? I have a 2007 too and couldn't find it worth it to trade for new unless I was looking for a new kind of car, e.g. awd.

DJ you beat me to it, new to this thread and I was just about to look up the 08's tC that's pretty dumped on TRD's, didn't think they would go that low. Modified possibly?

the first pic i think he said that is the lowest they will go. Not really sure what he has done too them because I dont think they have the usual 2 locking rings like other coilovers.

Either way I think they're dope - not sure if just buying Progress coils is cheaper or not

if you decide to buy the trd coilovers then get them through trdsparks which will be alot cheaper than the dealer and install them yourself to save some more money, by your first post of trading in the 07 for a 10 i guess that the 07 is an auto and you want a manual. i'd have to agree with what drewskie14 is saying about buying another car instead.
