Sounds like a really good set up watching....I have the TRD struts, H&R springs, Ingalls SS brake lines & clutch cable, and the Ingalls ETD....WONDERFUL! The TRD front brace & Megan C-pillar...meh. Love the feel of the brakes & clutch w/ the SS lines and a little adjustment here and there Was gonna go progress rear bar for teh smae reason mentioned above about the oversize Hotchkis bars but did not know H&R made sways, looks like my X-mas list has changed. GL and update often!

I don't know how the Dezod pads are, never tried em out yet, but the StopTech pads are going to be very similar to the Centri PosiQuiet pads (which is what StopTech mainly uses for their line and what I'm running right now on my car).

Here's what mine look like.


You can't see the StopTech ss lines in the pic, but they're there.

i saw in another coilover thread that someone said the H&R coilovers dont have dampening adjustabilty. is that true? i wanna be able to make the ride soft or stiff.

2fast is the ride with the H&R harsh?

Oh... I presumed you had read my review on the H&R coilovers. Please read it when you can, it gives you my first-hand account over a period of time with the coilovers.

--> https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...lover&&start=0

The quick answer is H&R coilovers are not harsh at all. In my review I mentioned my 55 year-old mother feels my tC rides better than her Acura TL; since that review, she has driven my car and hasn't changed her opinion.

As for your other question, if you PM me, I could give you a detailed technical explanation as to why you are not going to find another set of coilovers for under $1000 that offer a smooth ride.

$850?!

I would have removed my rear sway, flown to where you're at, and beat you with it if you had passed that deal up.
