Just curious, cause it looks like they are just gonna go ahead and get the springs and install them. I almost wanted to get it normal drive it a day or so then get em installed....so I could see the difference of handling. But I guess i'd rather get it lowered, then I can just go home, put my rims on, and I'm set :-D I doubt its that much of a difference worth noting. I have had a integra stock then with some badass suspension so I know how much better handling gets with a drop and better tires....what was your expierence?

Hi pierced,
I had my tC with the stock springs for a couple of weeks before I had the TRD springs installed. There isn't much difference in the ride as far as I can tell but the car does seem to handle better on turns. If the TRD springs had arrived with the car I would have just had them installed before I picked it up to save myself time taking the car in for installation. -Jayme

I know someone who has a tC with trd springs and he says its very noticable but he drives like a maniac so that can be why, I have them on my xB and it was a waste, IMO i decided to go with something that makes getting up my drive way a chore.. :D

there has to be some change or they woulnt make them, i hope...
