BTW does TRD make coil overs?, and if so are they any good. How do they compare with the competition. I'm considering getting the new D2's as soon as I read up more on them.

 

I'm not absolutely sure about the rears (in reference to hotchkis'), but I think there was several units that had mounting issues and noises and such...
If I had to do it all over again, I think I still would've gone with my TRD route. I love what is does, and love the fact that I don't need to mess with it at all (even though I do have the street option if I choose).

To answer the question about TRD coilovers, no I don't think they do (at least for the tC). They do however make a shock & spring which is essentially similar. They're made with more durability in mind allowing the driver to drive with relative ease. Performance isn't top notch, but it will hang throughout the long haul while providing a dramatic difference in handling.
Any tC without suspension mods is still in the dark ages. Toyota should've made "some" of these items standard equipment

 

Yes, there are some people on this board that are having rubbing issues with the front sway bar and their coilovers. I am on trd springs and the hotchkis bars work just fine. Their nice and red under your car too.

 

Hey, does anyone know the bolt size or part number for the 2 bolts that hold the polyurethane D cup bushings and rear sway bar to the car? One of my bolts got stripped so wanted to replace it. I need to know the part number and/or the size of it to order another.

Thanks!

 

NM, reply was to old posts...
