Very happy with this set. Just the right amount of drop without having to angle up driveways or worry about scraping.
Ride quality feels very close to stock, yet is flatter around corners.
enjoy!

Looks Awesome man!! Im going to get TRD Springs soon, I was thinking about shocks but what do they really do except stiffen the ride?

Looks great. How was the install? I got the springs/shocks since Nov., but theres over a foot of snow now so I don't think I'll be doing my install any time soon.

that's hot as hell.

metalranger33

damn it looks nice but those tRds didnt lower it as much as i thought it would. U should have gotten Tein S for 20 bucks more

DJ_X_Trodinaire

looks good

duston831

did you install yourself? if not, how much did you pay for installation, and did you get the supposed warranty?

here's a quote from member hahaitzskippy that basically explains why:

"stock shocks are made for the height and the spring rate (stiffness) of the stock springs.

if you get aftermarket springs, your stance will be lower (shorter springs) and the spring rate will be higher than stock.

since your springs are shorter, that gives less distance for your shock to rebound; thus not allowing your shock to full extend and use all of its power to stop the bouncing.

to make this worse, the stiffer springs will make the shock work harder since stiffer spring needs a bigger force to stop it from moving.


the stock shocks setup will work on any springs. including the TRD. its just how well you treat the shocks"

Looks like a good install. Are the gaps on all four sides the same? Some people have been posting that some sides will sit lower, or higher, or front or back, etc. Let me know.

now u just need some slightler fatter profile on those skinny ___ oem tires and your wheel gap will be perfecto! imho

heeey look at the emoticon I chose. im special as all hell

Did you have fun compressing the spring to the teeth just to get the trds on? :D I have done the install too and those front struts can be fun! Good job on the install though

brian

Is there anyway you could do a writeup on the instructions? I plan on doing the install soon when the snow clears up around here and a detailed writeup would be awesome. if not, just a list of tools you needed so i can see what i need.

bender

looking good, wish i had the money for one of thems.

Heard they had sqeaking problems. Have you experienced this?

anthonie

looksgood man, only got the springs for now, just waiting for the funds to get the shocks.

Anyone that needs their TC springs or shocks installed in S. Cali, I'll help you out for a small fee. Just email me at louish32@charter.net and we'll get started!

xtremc5

looks good but i like the tein drop better

daewonder

good job. a clean, subtle drop.

Swanny

Looks very good. Think I may that TRD setup also. Keep up the good work!

amoraes

Thanks you for posting pics of before and after. Looks good, but for my taste, now that I saw the drop on TRDs I may consider going with Tein. I would like just a little bit more drop! But your car look good, I admit!!! Keep up the good work!
