i dont know which one to get...i would like to drop it soon but my only problem is how low each one is gonna be....i was wondering if any one can tell me how low the trds will be from factory...i think they are 1" drop if i am not mistaken but i dont know what the drop on the S techs are...

if someone can show me a picture of trd springs on a tc and s techs on a tc..

 

I have the TRD springs. I love the ride and the look with them. If i could do it again though i would of liked to go a tiny bit lower and i think the S-Techs will give you that. Teins will for sure. But i am still very pleased with the TRD.

 

Shoe_Here I must say that's one good looking tC. BTW SpUnKyTC if you decide on TRD's we have them in stock. <<<shamless plug!! sorry.

Moved to CC...

 

I hate the way the TRD's look. I personally would go with S-Tech's or H-Tech's.

 

TRD's look good to me! TEIN have too much of a drop for me, especially with the speed bump i have around town! Unless i have coilovers? then thats a different story!




TRD's SOON! after i get my rims!

 

Can't argue with that. lol !!

 

teins all the way.

 

yes i agree..teins all the way..i have s techs and love them...it is a bigger drop but i haven't scraped yet!! even on driveways...i guess i'm pretty careful

check my profile for pics

 

these pics were taken a few weeks ago..they have settled a bit more since then...so a tad lower now...

haha still tryin to figure out this picture thingie...ok here they are, with Stech drop..

 

stech drop looks clean

 

do the trd springs cover the wheel gap front and back??

 

the arguement should be tein vs hotchkins

here a pic of my car with hotchkins. iwas in the same debate months ago



you be the judge
before the drop



here the pic i promised
overall look after drop sorry for the big pics





front drop


rear

 

i would get the teins, but im gonna be getting the lip kit soon and with-out the teins the tC looks slammed already! i wouldnt want to be scrapping my lip kit already! so if you want a BIG drop go with the TEINS, if you want a drop tha looks good, go with the TRD's, thats what im gonna get in about 2 weeks!

BTW, dont go to the dealership to get them installed! my dealer quoted me $550 for labor! I laughed in his face! i found someone else for $100 for labor and allignment! it sounded good to me!

 

TRD Springs= 1.25" Front & Back

TEINS S-Tech= 2.4" Front, 2.0" Back
TEINS H-Tech= 1.9" Front, 1.5" Back

Hotchkins= 1.7" Front, 1.97" Back

 

I got TRD springs and TRD shocks waiting to be installed along with my Hotchkis sway bars and I can't wait to get them on. I'm up in Massachusetts so I didn't want my tC to be a snow plow in the winter if it was too low. The combination of the shocks and springs seems liek it will be perfect for me, but I'll update with info once they're on my car.

 

not even close, teins..... no question about it

 

for the hotckins its at least a 2 inch drop all the way around. i know because i measured the before and after. the figure you posted is >=1.97 drop.

 

bump for updated pics ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
