Trd springs are a little rough I had them on my last xb what size wheel were you wanting to go with

Sorry for the different angles too.

 

do you have any noise when going down driveways

creaking

thanks

 

How much of a drop did you get with the TRDs? They don't list it in the brochures at the dealership or the website.

 

No noise at all. My buddy and I did the work I. I did have to do the front driver's side twice though.... When we moved on to the second one I noticed a clothlike washer that I didn't see on the first one. Apparently when things flew off while taking off the old srping from the first one I wasn't paying enough attention. No I didn't use a spring compressor... Sorry for the long response... See more pictures here.https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=179051

 

about an inch at first but after a week or so it's down to about 1.5 inches. For me its good enough any lower and I might have some rubbing issues with the 19x8.5s

 

I found more pics during the install but they are just random pictures.

Thanks for the extra info and pics! That sounds about what I dropped with my 1st gen and the Tein H-Techs which should be good with 19's like you are running.

 

1.5" all around? I keep hearing only 1" with TRD springs. Perhaps those folks didn't let theirs settle before reporting?

 

I wouldn't be surprised if it settled closer to 1.5" but I really can't confirm. I have never used the TRD springs on the 1st or 2nd gen xB.

 

Here is a pic with 19 x 8.5 in front and 19 x 9.5 in rear with the TRD springs... No rubbing at all...nice ride overall...

Hey Blk08xb on your wheel set-up how come you didnt go with a 265/35. do you think a 265/30 will rub with the trd springs installed.

The only reason that i didnt put 265's on the rears is because i saw that it would rub so i just went with the 245's to be on the safe side...

 

Any thoughts, or experience on using the TRD springs with a 20" x 8.5 rim ? What tire size would be recommended.

I don't want any rub, even when turning while on a bump.

 

here is the after pix..

 

LOL hows that teaser pix..

here it is it way to high for my eyes.. think good bags are going in soon..
