it should be a 1' drop but remember the springs settle a bit lower than orignal specified amount..

my xB TRD'S are 1' but really they have to be more like 1.4 cause its much lower than it did 4 weeks ago...

I've heard similar numbers, but I would like to get exact specs too. Let me know how they turn out if you decide to install them. Also, do you know if there is any danger of voiding our warranties if we install anything other than TRDs?

did you guys just go with the TRD springs and stock shocks/struts? Or did you use aftermarkets?

I used the stock struts with my xA, and have no problems without any upgrades. . . if I had the money, I would spend them on sway bars instead.
