Yo just wondering what springs i should get.. its gonna be either S-Techs or TRD. Idk which springs are lower..
Here's a site that i found, it shows that it looks kinda dropped or slammed idk what they did to it, not sure..

Help me out, thanks.

 

Here are some photos of them installed for testing.

If you measure your car, it should be roughly 1.18" lower with the TRD springs.

Worth the wait IMO.

 

S. Techs are lower than the TRD's.

 

Hmmm still debating..

 

The ROUGH drop for each with pics of members' cars who have the springs installed:

H-Tech - 1"
TRD - 1.2"
S-Tech - 1.4"

I have the H-techs on order because I didn't want to risk going so low I couldn't get into driveways/ramps

 

That's a weak drop for S-tech comparing from the first gen, it was more than 2" drop.

 

Think that's why you'll see a lot of folks holding out for coilovers

 

Alright in your opinion if you were going to be going up to 19's from the stock 18's which drop would you get or would it matter....because i dont want to be too low or have rubbing issues

 

Wheel diameter wont mean anything unless your planning on upsizing the tire too.

Basically, think of it this way. If you don't like any of the drops listed above and want lower, wheels aside, then you probably want coilovers. If you want actual performance, then best again is to wait and see first hand accounts from members in motorsports. At this point in time, all any of us can do is review what we have to the best of our ability.

Pick a goal, whether that be to go low and have big rims or to have a decent drop with wicked handling characteristics. In the end one suspension set will stand out above the rest for you.

That's my recommendation anyways.

 

^^^^ Agreed.

How wide are you going with the 19s? If you go with the TRD 19s (with 235/35R19 tires), you can pretty much go as low as you want. From everything I've read, there is crazy room in the wheel wells. 1stOne is talking about putting on meaty 255/40R18s this summer and he has the TRD springs. I can't imagine putting any bigger tires on a car as small as the tC...

 

Yea i was thinking of putting either 245 or 255 on it not sure what tires i want yet though so cant narrow it down yet.

 

Thanks guys for your input, uh naw not really going for 19s just sticking with 18s & with the springs i believe S-Techs will be good. Thanks again.
