I didn't realize someone asked me question back from September; I didn't even know about until couple minutes ago. Sorry!

Anyway....



Is set at the second hole for more of aggressive response. Which means better handling than the 1st hole. Realistically, that second hole is actually "Street Performance."

While if you went with aftermarket- Like Hotchkis. You'll see three hole setting: Street, Street Performance, Race.

The TRD weighs least 25-30 lbs while OEM is 10-15 lbs.

-----------------

Too bad you're not in Illinois or Wisconsin area; I would offer 750-800 bucks for your TRD wheels.

to change the swy bar setting, just jack both sides of the car up and unscrew the bolt and then put it in the second hole and tighten nut? sounds a little too simple

#469 of 2000
Bought in Vineland, NJ May of 2009.

Needed a new car, since my '05 4Runner was coming off of lease. Looked around the lot, saw it, test drove it, bought it. - now surprised by looking online of others who were waiting to get theirs.

---scratched one rim day after I go it home, by trying to parallel park. Now I park with 2 feet between me and the curb. ( Think I park to from from the curb? Tough. I usually screw myself worrying about what others think. )

Now the center caps are losing their red color. And even If I have them replaced - who says they won't fade also?

My centercap lettering started to crack and had them replaced under warranty at the dealer. When they call you to let you know the caps arrived, make sure to take the wheels off and pop them out from behind the wheel to prevent scratching the wheel. When I had mine swapped out whoever swapped the centercaps they pried from the outside and left some reminders on my wheels.

@SciontC_RS5 : Other planned mods will be revealed as they're done lol. Gotta keep that element of surprise. Just recently installed 6000K HIDs[HIDExtra].

Default Cap

The clearcoat on the cap on one of my rims cracked when the dealerships took off the wheel while adjusting a strut (and the red TRD started to disappear) and so I took it back and they fixed it. But I found out they're like $16 if anybody is curious how much they are. But it also took them 3x of ordering it for them to get the correct TRD one in, even with my VIN. Go figure.
