Only problem: the front is too high for my liking, but i know if i lowered it any more, it would only be asking for problems.

It looks that way because the front fenders are cut out more than the rear, giving that effect. After they settle for a few weeks they look even better though.

I kinda wish i got the Hotchkis springs...

but the TRD's will have to do for now

Id rather have a better ride since the roads here are in need of massive paving (only the parkways). And I'm banking that my struts will last a little bit longer with the TRD's

Heres the LOVE of my lifeeee.

Rear Before (HOLY CRAP)

After Drop (not settled)

Thats an old pic on a hill so teh front end looks like an off roader. I'll put some new pics up when I get home.

MY RIDE

I have always wondered... I have seen other Tc's with the TRD springs that look lower in the front than other one's. Like mine for example: my car looks higher in the front, I do have a full tank of gas though.............

Well, I was gonna post some before and after TRDs vs Hothkis pics after they settled, but the day I was gonna take pics, it rained. The next week, I hit a semi tire tread on the freeway and ____ed up my front bumper and side skirt.
So, here is a pic I took just before all that. Fronts are fully settled and backs are just about settled.

Looks to be exactly like my drop on Hotchkis as well. Pretty low, eh? Mine sits at 4" clearance at the front of the bumper and 3.5" at the lowest point, the little plastic things not far behind that.

Yeah, Yanki. After the second week, the backs dropped a little more, but it rained and I didn't want to take pics.
The following week i cracked my bumper so I can't take fully settled pics until after the repairs are done.

Wierd though, lots of people say they love the even drop of the Hotchkis, and others say they love the slight rake on the back.
