what was the price of Springs and shocks...?

xC

Got the spring/shock combo for around $400+. Got it back in December 04.

if you drop your car with tein s-tech springs

your ground clearance's gonna be around 3" or a little bit higher. (on stock springs-5.2")

that's way lower than Ferrari Enzo(4.0") or Porche Carrera GT(3.4").

that's low enough IMO.

BTW i can not see the differences b/w stock shocks and TRD shocks.

can anyone tell me the differences?

I already posted this above. The difference is not in height, but in performance:

Since your springs are shorter, that gives less distance for your shock to rebound; thus not allowing your shock to fully 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.

Didn't see this answered anywhere in this thread...

If I get the Tein springs, are they going to void the warranty from Scion? I paid for an extended one, and dont want to void it in any way...

Also, I'm beginning to realize that if I do stick with the TRD springs I ordered with the car, I should buy them from somewhere besides the dealer, as the dealer charges ~$400+ (if i'm remembering correctly) for the springs installed.

According to my sales rep. No, you will not void the warranty on the things like the engine. You will probably only have a harder time proving tire problems if they arise.
