baNanA_ryCe,

I really do appreciate your work on the faux street lamp antenna. ;)

Zero0ne GTS,

I'm feeling a natural choice brewing here...TRD kit..yep..TRD springs (I love mine). They're not "too low" (in relative terms)...about 1.3-1.5 inch drop.

Hey Dooly...we'll be in Vegas on July 20-25!! We'll be bringing a
digi cam. We are going to a convention! Let us know if you wanna use it, we can meet somewhere. Too bad we won't get to
take the Celi with us, we have to take the other car....guess we won't get a ticket on the way there in the car in the background!!
Lol...

Personally I favor the look of the H&R springs, and from what REdOX has said he has no problems with the kit. However, I've seen the TRD drop on my friend's GT-S w/WW kit and think it's enough. Looks nice IMHO.

H&R and TRD springs are reliable. It all comes down to the look you want and the practicality of the drop. ZeroOne GTS, if its your daily driver getting dropped, consider strongly the practicality. A pot hole here or a construction zone with manhole covers exposed will cause you to think twice about going too low.

You can't go wrong with H&R or Hotchkis. I have the Hotchkis springs and I'm very satisfied. See my sig.

thx for all resposnes... yah the car is my daily driver so im thinking about the trd springs... but h&r is still my first choice drop is supposed to be 1.5-1.7 i dont think thats too bad seeing as the trd is listed as 1.3-1.5

Mine is daily driver but still ride is really good... I don't see that much diffence from stock..... I was very suprised...
2.25" front 2.5" back... not as bad as you most people think...

Dude,

you are in CA. Get TRD if you don't want to scrape. I got TRD and I still scrape in L.A. or San Fran.... go figure.


DOOLY: Skunk drops that low? I was thinking about switching to Tanabe Super downs..... but how is Skunks

PLease! I need to know which s the advertised drop on the H&R springs and then how much did it actually drop!

I'm considering on getting these springs and would love to have som feedback.

Thank you!

Wahili: Don't get your springs installed at toyota. They cost you way too high. I got mine installed in a tire/wheels shop. It cost me 150 to install with alignment.
