TRD springs are very good i ran on them with TRD shocks also for a while. Im on coilovers now but if i had to choose springs and shocks again it would certainly be TRD shocks and springs.

I also like my TRD Springs. I have them installed with factory struts. However if I had the extra money I would of bought the TRD struts at the same time.

(I have no problem using them with factory struts so far - about 1000 miles).

i have the trd springs on the stock struts. everything seems fine. had them on for about a month now. I also have a 2010 tc. I didnt like the red ones, i found somebody selling the old white ones so i bought them. they were still brand new in box. the drop is decent, i want lower but dont want to make the ride quality worse

The springs are great.. And the drop is pretty nice as well, basically what I expected. My next step is a rear swat bar to eliminate most body roll. Thanx for all input guys

Wrong thread, but you probably need an alignment, take it to an alignment shop/dealer. Where are you from though? I've recently seen another Release Series 5.0 by my house.

Hey man, when I installed my TRD springs I did a lot of research on this form. I have TRD springs on stock struts on my 08 tC and from what I hear and read they are expected to run about 50,000 - 75,000 miles on stock struts.

So far the stock struts are doing a fine job, and I have the RSB installed set to stiffest setting.

Use the 'Search' button and search up TRD springs on stock struts and you will find some people that are using that with no problems at all.

Anyways good luck.

i have trd spring on stock struts. The struts lasted 20,000 miles on trd springs.
Then i got Tokico struts. They suck after 15,000 miles. i feel every bumps rattling my tc.
I am glad you guys love the TRD struts. I will get them soon.

the release 5 has TRD Springs on Stock Struts and Shocks., kinda stupid because you'll have to replace them after 40k miles.
