anyone have problems scraping the bottom of the car coming out of driveways with the trd's? do trd's require an angled maneuver out?

Kinda depends on how steep your driveway is. I've only scraped it barely one time when I was parking I went up too far on the curb. Didnt have any damage though. Only thing with TRD's is I go slower over speedbumps and try to dodge potholes more because you can feel them alot more than stock. So for regular driving I dont worry about it too much until I have to park somewhere with high curbs.

i used to have tein s-techs and those were 2.4 in the front and 2.0 in the rear...



now i have progress tech coilovers and they drop you 1.5 on install alone and then you can adjust the height anywhere from 1 to 3 inches lower. that's a total drop of 4.5 max!!

Hey Gortok, I think you're the first one with Tanabe springs- how do they look? I think the rain's supposed to clear out either tomorrow or saturday, so you can take some pictures and I can wash my car.

Anyway, I've decided (90% sure) on the Hotchkis springs and swaybars. You losers convinced me.
