Hey, i just got my tC not that long ago.
I got the 1.0 Release Series, sort of like a special edition.
It is upgraded in several ways that the regular tC isnt.
Right now im looking for Suspension parts because i think
all my car needs is a really nice drop.

Im looking into getting TRD Lowering springs...
But i dont know what shocks/Struts combo to go with.
What i was thinking of doing is using my stocks for now.

I want to know if using my Stock Shocks/Struts would be
any problem. Are they made better, meaning geared towards
performance you know, compared to the regular tC out there??

Please let me know what you guys think.

Also, i want to know whats the official drop on these springs...
Thanks.

Just read thru this section and you will find your answer, most likely. You should also try searching for what you want.

With TRD springs you do not need to replace struts/shocks - the drop is 1.25", and RS 1.0 tC is mechanically identical to any other tC. RS stuff is purely cosmetic.

Who told you the suspention was upgraded on rs models? It total bs

so does that mean if i went with tein or tanabe springs that i would have to replace my shocks as well???

Your shocks will wear out sooner.

shocks will definitely die faster.... but then you will be forced to get some kick a$$ shocks when they do die!

Well, the sales man told me.

The sales man was trying to sell you a car. That or he's retarded and didn't know any better.

As a fellow RS owner to another, you got duped by the sales guy! Upgrade your struts at the same time or the valving in your stockers will wear out quickly. The valves in the stock struts cannot handle the higher spring rate of lowering springs.
