how are trd springs compared to stock.

[kongee]

hi,

i have a 2000 gts and i was thinking of buying the trd springs. i will be using stock shocks and struts.

how does it compare to the stock ones ?

is it more stiff?

is it even worth spending $150 for the springs?

how low is it?

Ride quality is incredibly exceptional compared to others. They're a little more stiffer and have a better feel compared to stock. How much it will lower has varried, but for me it was a 1.5" drop in the front and a little less in the rear. I can barely fit two fingers in the gap up front with my stock 16s. I would definitely recomend them, but also look into the Tein S-techs which are around the same price or even less expensive from what I've heard and offer a similar drop.

I love my TRD's on my GT.. I thought my ride accually got better when I put them on. Im running them with stock springs and they ride great. I would though recommend upgrading struts at the same time.. Why not your gunna ahve to take them off anyways.

if i get the springs and use the stock shocks, would i need to get a camber kit?

^^ Nope im using my stock struts right now with my TRD Drop. The only reason I didint get new ones were I was low on money at the time and my struts are almost brand new... Only like 23,000 miles on them so I found no reason to upgrade..

You won't need a camber kit either due to the drop isnt that large of a drop
