Just to comment, I have the Hotchkis springs and they've def settled quite a bit. The rear wheel is slightly under the wheel fender and there's def been a few instances of scrapage, but only under the body where you can't see. Your car does look lower than most of the other TRD springs but it def looks good. If all TRD springs did that, I would have gotten that instead of the hotchkis, but oh well. BTW your car looks super clean and I love it, esp the tails. Keep it up!

BLSurfer Got a Pic?? Btwn what parts did you need I want to order my stuff soon. Did you just order the Springs and thats it?

 

[BLsurfer]

Hey yeah I just have the springs, but I just posted in the suspension forum, cause i'm having some issues with that, I might just have to get the trd or koni shocks sometime soon

Correct.

I've only scraped in two places and both of them involve extremely steep and tall driveways.

Hmm...Unlike NYC, Atlanta actually has hills, and I don't scrape.

 

[Plissken]

I've scraped twice. Ever. Once was totally my fault and the other was my friend's fault for buying a house with a vertical driveway.

when i measured from the top of my tire to the fender proio to installing ym TRD springs on stock struts, and then again afer install, it was only a 1" drop front and back. i got them cause the dealer told me they were a 1.5" drop front and rear, so i was a little pissed, but it actually looks real good with these. but this was jus tM measurement

Can I see a picture of your car on the trds JDangle? I dont want my wheels to be under the fender, i want their to be a little gap between it.

I know this is an old thread...but, my TRD springs are looking really low too! The rear especially, on one side I can barely fit a finger between the tire and the wheel well..I'll post pics soon.

 

[lyrictenor1]

okay, pics can be found in the thread linked below...

BTW...Ed, where'd you get your springs?

 

[EddNog]

Sparks Toyota/Scion.

Definitely not fakes.

[lyrictenor1]

Ed, have you been having any problems w/ bump steer? I'm just wondering if my suspension geometry is to blame for my steering issues...

I do not recall significant bump steer when I had my TRD springs.

I might add my two cents to this conversation since I just got my TRDs on. I agree that the rears fill the wheel wells a lot better than the front, but im going to assume it's by design. Here are a couple side shots to give you the idea.

 

[mrbrace]

Yeah don't they settle alot lower than the 1" they claim?

 

[eddiemoney]

I have had mine on for 1 week and i bet it is dropped 1.75 inches
