Default Question about modding with TRD Springs

I got a quick question for everyone that lowered with TRD springs

down the road after i get my tC in i was gonna get the TRD springs and rear swaybar. Is it necessary/worth it to get the struts and shocks as well or will the car be fine without them???

i know the handling will be better than before, but not as great as it could be with everything. Ive never done anything like this so opinions are appreciated!!!

Thanks, Jim

I did both at the same time. The reasoning I had was that the TRD struts are much better suited for the stress that the TRD springs will put on the struts. You will be ok with the stock struts for a while, but chances are that they will blow sooner. I will be doing the rear sway and the strut bar soon but the springs and struts came first.

Do it all at once. Mounting the springs is nothing short of grueling. Best to do it just the once.

If you're still looking for the TRD and good pricing, you might look through the suspension parts on our site. http://www.trdsparks.com/displaypart...1&parts_id=325
