I want to get the TRD springs but am concerned about scraping over speed bumps and coming down my driveway. Do any of you that have lowered tC's have problems?

Thanks

 

The springs are perfect for the street. Not to low to cause any problems for me. See my review in this forum.

 

Agreed.

 

Okay I'm sold :D Ordered a set today

 

let us know what you think once they're installed. I'm way happy with mine.

 

Will do!

 

Just got the springs installed and it looks and handles much better than stock. Perfect amount of drop as I don't really like the slammed look. It's just my preference but I don't really like the look of the 2"+ drop. Thanks again for the feedback guys.

 

where are the pics? And how long did it take to install?

 

Okay I'll shoot a couple and post tomorrow. The install took a loooong time. :oops: Actually what took a lot of time was removing everything from the back hatch area. Dropped a clip or two down the side panel and had to take off the rear seats to get to it. The actual install took about 1 1/2 hours.

 

well any pics???

Kev

 

Okay I got around to taking a couple of pics after washing so here they are:



I know a lot of people like it lowered more but the TRD springs are perfect for me :D

 

not to jack your thread or anything but when you lower it on springs.. did your ride quality change at all? better or worse? and whats the purpose ot struts and shocks? I don't know anything about suspension x_x

 

how much of the rear needed to be taken out and how long did that take? did u need a spring compressor. since i'm in the business of mods for cheap i have a tc comin my way soon and need to know. thanx

 

The ride feels a little stiffer when going over bumps but aside from that it feels about the same. What changed beside the look and stance is the handling which is noticeably better w/ less body roll.

 

looks nice, Tc808. I told you you'd like it doesn't the car handle so much better now?

 

1 1/2 hours to install? Thats not a bad time, but makes me wonder. How did you make the rear spring slip in with out a spring compressor?

 

Nice drop tc808. Looks really nice.

 

Okay okay...lol. Yup I'm pleased with the better handling and stance.

 

We knew you would. :D Still wondering about the rear springs though.

 

Well that 1 1/2 hours was the actual spring install which doesn't include the time to take out everything but the back hatch area and also the wiper cover. Oh and I did use a spring compressor. I also had my friend helping me for a lot of the install which really helped, esp. since he has access to a lift and all the tools. It would probably be two days if I did it myself in my garage
