Default my TC is now lowered

hey guys, me and a friend installed the TRD lowering springs on my TC today. I will post pics tomorrow, too dark now. It took over 6 hours. All i have to say to people who want to do it themselves. make sure you have ALL of the correct tools that will be needed. I know, who wouldn't have the right tools. Well, i was missing some certain socket wrenches and adapters An impact gun would of made the job so much easier. anyways, so glad i did it myself. Saved tons of money and makes the lower just that much better. i got 18's and the TRD, there is ZERO gap, i love. Pictures for you all in the morning.

Lookin' good! Yeah, I would love it if you could take some pics in a week or two when they're nice & settled. Just curious to see the gap with 18s. Thanks for the pics & good job!

Nice pics... i like the drop.

The TRD Springs will probably be my next mod.

How much did you end up paying for them? Did you get the shocks as well?

Post more pics if you can (from further away)

just he springs installed. i will wait awhile for the shocks. the stock ones are fine for awhile. only 1000 miles on the car. i got the springs for 140 on ebay. more pics will be taken tomorrow from farther away. the pics now don't do justice. it still has to settle a bit

Nice! Do you get any rubs? I'm kinda scared of lowering mines. Don't want to scrape the splitter hahaha.

there is no rubbing at all with stock or the TRD Springs. The ride is awesome with the TRD. much better around corners. Getting the sawy bar soon to finish the suspension. Here are more pics to give you an idea of the drop with 18's.
