Default yes another poll..Hotchkis or TRD lowering springs

alright well, heres the story, i've had my TRD springs for a good 5000 miles now, and don't get me wrong i love my springs "clap: ...however having said that, i think the wheel gap is just too much for me. My homie just got hooked up with some hotchkis springs that hes trying to get rid of, so im thinking of buying them an selling my TRDs, now my question for you guys is...is there a significant enough different to change from Hotchkis to TRD, or should i just stick to what i have now. Any input would be awsome! thanks guys =D

I have the hotchkis springs on stock struts and shocks for now, I love them. I have a nice clean drop and the wheel gap has been lessened significantly. I would say Hotchkis, especially if you can get them for a good price.

Not to hijack your thread, but I see a lot of Hotchkis/TRD/H-Tech buys lately... I'm wondering why I don't see as many S-Tech purchases? I was looking at those and was curious to see if people don't like them as much as they did...

S-Techs are low! I wouldn't want my car that slammed. The H-Tech is perfect!

Does the TC have enough rear camber adjustment with the Hotchkis to get rid of the negative camber without the adjustable camber link?
