Default SPRINGS RECOMMENATIONS?

what springs does everyone here suggest? nothing to stiff but something that has a comfortable ride. looking to add 17" or 18" rims.

I'm using TRD and I like it, might not be the lowest, but the rider is better than stock and the handling is also better.

Edited by ghost: helped you out some.

Goldlines for $200 installed
or an adjustable Ground Control Kit for just a little over twice as much.

You can't go wrong...

talk to or pm bill (scionspecialistvegas) he got us (himself,vegascion,kinglou, and myself) on goldlines. the drop is NICE and the rides is smooth. (less bouncy than stock) hes a distributor and i know he has an extra set at this exact moment.

trds are cool but definitely stiffer.(kinglous brother arinvolvo has them) check around all the pictures of different springs youll see pretty quick which way you want to go.

im sure anyof us are more than happy to meet up so you could check out in person ride/look.

i just installed my goldlines a few hours ago (finally!).. i switched over from the 1.25" spys. the drop doesnt look like too much of a differnce, its only 3/4 of an inch difference. but they havent settled in yet. when i leave work, i'll have to check them out again. I only drove from my house to work but i can really tell a difference in the feel of the springs. I like the feel of the gold lines more so far. we'll see, i need to do some more driving on them.

Default springs

I recomend either checkin into progress group drop springs. at a store near u they offer both clean drop and super handling without the bouncyness of the stocks or even an adjustable spring or fork out some cash and get the jic flta2's and get the best of both worlds literaly the ultimate

Goldline is gonna rock the suspension industry soon....it may not be the top end (atleast according to price) but it sure feels and look like one.

GoldLine Rocks~

My vote ... no springs ....... just go for ground rubbing, bump grinding, speed bump, oil pan tearing off fun

Goldline was coming in the scene as I was leaving the retail side of tuning. I know they were on the less expensive side.

I'm happy with Eibach's. Not too low and great ride. No rubbing with 18's and 215's. No rubbing with full load of people and cargo.
