yo man, if you want a cheap worthwhile upgrade, get the TRD rear sway bar, set it on race and go. the car handles so much better, and for only a 100 it's def worth it.

The TC's rear tires are located closer to the rear end of the car (and muffler) which will make it harder for you to scrape it going up and down driveways and such. But whenever your car is dropped, always remember to enter and exit driveways at angles as apposed to straight on. Regardless of how connservative the drop is.

I REALLY doubt you will ever scrape your muffler even if you drive half caringly.

My TRD SPrings are supposed to arrive tomorrow
