So last night i chose to order the trd drop springs for the 05 tc...i was debating on them and the s teins but since i only wanted a mild drop i went with them 185.00 shipped from ebay...can beat that so i really have been looking hard on how peolpe like the trd. i have been getting mixed feelings on how they like them..is there anything wrong with the drop? i know the tc should have came stock lower but thats why we have the aftermarket scene. i think i will like the drop as stated before i was goin with a mild not wild like all my crazy tc scion life folks so can i get some info on how people like them..and any problems i should watch out for during the install..

 

aw you didn't get from TRD Sparks or McGeorgeparts? they are both sponsors and they can beat that price easy!

I have the TRD springs and shocks set up with the rear sways. Diggin' the setup so far.... nothing wrong with it. I had mines installed at PrecisionMufflers.com since he is local to us.

Good luck installing it though. Sorry I dont have any tips on that.

 

Nice choice. If you're looking for a mild drop TRDs are defintely the right springs. I have the Eibach Pro-kits which have similar drop rate. Installation wise if you haven't done it better it will take awhile. Just follow the DIYs people have written. There's a good one to use on the Club-tc.com site under the articles section. I believe there are some on this site too. Just have to do some searching.

A problem I had was getting the lower arm to line up with the shock when putting them together. That arm was a pain to adjust. But other than that a friend or somebody helping you would be good. Good luck with the install.

 

yeah my boss at the shop wouls help me out..i did and install on a few saturns and they was cake i just need them to get in so im thinkin after the holiday i will have them in with pics up

 

i have trds with some 18 inch rims, and it looks pretty nice. Don't be disappointed after you initially put them on, give it a few weeks to settle and it'll look nice.

 

<Tisk Tisk> Should have ordered from trdsparks.com. It all really depends on the type of drop you're looking for. If you want a more aggressive stance and subtle look, then the TRDs are perfect! I've had mine for almost a year now and couldn't be happier! If you want a more slammed look, then look elsewhere. Once you lower it, you'll be asking yourself the same question I was..."Why the hell did it take me this long to lower it?!!!"

 

lol...i just got the car a month ago and money has been tight so i decided to get them now when i had a few bills layin around

 

hey good choice on the springs...although trdsparks or mcgeorge would have been a better choice...i think i might get the tein h-techs. just because its a little more lower. but i also have heard some mix feelings.....tell me how the trd's are when you install them

 

aren't TRDs rebadged eibachs?

@ mcgeorgeparts.

 

i thought the trds give a little more drop than the eibachs?

 

Anything bad to say about the TRD springs?

Will the car look awkward if there are 5 people in the car? Later on, will the car sag a little more in the rear and make the car look ugly?

 

I doubt it would sag substantially, I would go with Hotchkis if I could do it again, but trds are good for a mild drop

 

Same here.... I really wish I would have went with Hotchkis.

 

Why? What is so good about Hotchkis?

 

Most people don't even know I'm lowered since I have TRD's. I believe Hotchkis is just a bit lower than the TRD's.
