No you don't need new shocks...You did something wrong during the install, not quite sure what though...The TRD's will give you a 1.5 inch drop all the way around...

Cutting the bumpstop or not should only effect suspension travel, not the stance.

You should get about an inch to an inch and a half. Just after lowering, the car will not instantly sit at full drop. It takes a few weeks for the springs to adapt to the weight of the car and settle out to the full drop. Be patient.

The gentlemen with the tC's should be ignored on this one...

the TRD's will show an instant drop and DO NOT cut the bump stops!!!!

something was done wrong on the install, or you dont have TRD springs up front... can we get some pics to help diagnose?

Where did you get the springs? Are you sure they're TRDs?
