Since the TRD shocks are shorter than the stock shocks...would a car with the TRD springs and TRD shocks ride a little lower than the same exact car with stock shocks and trd springs

 

no.

 

Who said they were shorter? Didnt think they were.

 

they are...but the answer is still no.

 

yes they are shorter and I think the car does ride lower with them....I have TRD springs and struts and my car is lower then cars I have seen with just the springs

 

I'd assume it would be a little lower in height. Not much though.

 

yes, the trd struts are shorter then the stock struts, how do i know? the stock struts are too tall for the boxes the trd struts came in. does it ride lower, maybe, not really a big difference.

 

i would have to disagree, it really is a bit lower.

 

it sits a tad bit lower.

 

I think that's when "1.25" TRDsparks.com comment comes into play.

I agree! My sits much lower. Someone here posted a picture of both OEM & TRD strut together. I remember saying out loud "I don't like that almost inch difference. So I'm forking the extra cash for them."

OEM-


TRD S&S's


I agree about the OEM struts doesn't fit in the TRD Strut box!

 

idk, but make sure you cut your bumpstopts to accomodate for the shorter struts.

 

ok believe what you want. The ride height is the same.

Handling is a different story. Much better with the trd struts.

 

they are shorter. period.

 

i had that setup before and trust me it doesn't make a difference it wouldn't sit lower with the trd struts. if your looking for a nice low look with a nice ride i suggest trd struts with tein s-techs and tein are a lot cheaper then trd springs.

 

Yes they are shorter but the question is do the struts lower the car more....the answer is no. The height will be the same with or without the trd struts. However, it is much better to have the struts that are trd to get the best performance.

 

dude they lower the car a little bit get over it.

a nicer ride with s-techs?? i dont think soo sir not even with s/s...and teins are not cheaper.

 

well from my experience and my opinion s-techs and trd struts puts that low look that everyone looks for while keeping the stock ride feel the car came with.

 

TRD shocks are much heavier! Walk a 10,000 sq feet dealership from parts to indoor parking area. Stand at cashier while resting the box on your feet as you write a check. Then walk by three different showroom areas while carrying that box!

This what made me laugh. You know what parts told me..."I hope you parked near by?" LOL

 

well idk what s-techs your riding on but they dont feel anything like the stock ride. the ride is really ruff and it hurts your handling.

 

Apprently, TRD suspension is in tune with Illinois potholes!

I ran over three holes this year so far, all three fit my wheel quite well. Struts still want to work! These roads in Illinois SU*K! I would clap out loud to TRD & Toyota for choosing these struts but there's no emoticon for it so I'll just
