Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior GOT MY TRDS! whoohoo!

hey guys i got my trd springs from one of the moderators at nc.org. paid 140 shipped (though shiping was 21.61, realatively they were only 119). i just picked them up and they are right below my office desk. can't wait to install them. i'll give a review saturday when i get my 75K service done and get my springs installed at autohaus or brs tuning...i'm still undecided as to where i should get them installed. i just hope the driving and look of the car outweighs the constant lookout for scrapping, potholes, and other common negatives on lowering the car. just hope my stock bumber is high enough to clear most dips and slopes...

stock body and trd springs = no worries.

Post pics after install, and congrats.. that's a great price

i dunno. i would think so since it's only 1.2 inch drop but i hear people with stock bodies scaping, bottming out, etc., etc. so i'll try to be extra careful.

I'm sure it's possible to bottom out with a stock body AND stock springs, but it's very unlikely if you use common sense.

common sense? oh no...i'm screwed

lol j/k

i also have TRD springs waiting to be installed...
they are at Toyota right now and idk when my car is scheduled to go in.
But i'll jump in with your review and have pics.

damn! i won't have them in till this weekend...

I put my coilovers on myself, its really not that hard, Save yourself a whole lot of money, You will just need to take it somewhere to get it aligned properly.

Good luck no matter which way you go!!!

congrats

hey guys i got my trd springs installed at BRS. let me just say that they were awesome. they charged me 100 flat for the install but could have charged me only 65 is i took my trunk plastics out in advance. i was being a lazy ass so i didn't. anyway mike at brs installed that and since i bought the trds used they were pretty much settled the next day. my verdict is that they sank lower (just a bit) lower than expected. definately more than an inch about 3 to 3.5 finger gap from the tire. it does look lowered and since i am not into really dropped cars this "conservative" look was just right for me. i wasn't expecting great performancef rom the springs but..WOW along with my apr felx bar i was doin' corners with little body roll. again since i do not race and use my celi for street only this was good enough for me. the ride was a little rougher than stock but it is still comfortable. i'll try to post pics asap. but i would have to give the springs a big thumps up for looks AND (street) performance. i liked them so much that i found myself laughing when doing turns...weird huh?

so 140 used shipped trd springs
100 for install
30 for alignment= 270 worth whle mod cash spent

Do you have 17s? Im getting ready to put mine on, I just want to make sure that this is gonna eat up enough of my tire gap to make me happy...

sorry mine are stock 15 alloys

oh yippee! that drop should be perfect for me!

yeah these springs are GREAT!!

damn...I can't wait to get mine installed.

you'll have a blast..it's like night and day...for me anyway

im very happy with mine...they perform so good...personally, i wanted a lower look than trd's...dont know, maybe later, a re-mod, maybe not...

yea i got my hotchkis's installed a while ago...i still am amazed that i can heel-toe and shit around turns like driving my friend's 944...its VERY comprable
