Default Lowering Springs

If you were going to by lowering springs for a tC which one would you get.....Tein, TRD, or H&R? I want my car to be lowered, but I want it to ride good still.

Tein and H & R are your best choices. Plus tein carries a longer warranty

I am about to put the TRD springs on my xb. Description says it will lower the car an inch and will ride slightly stiffer for better control. On the TC i don't know. Tein and H&R are more high end and may have better warranties but you will also pay a whole lot more. I chose the TRD's because they do what i want them to do, which is make the ride lower and easier to control.

I've got the TRD springs on my Tc. I was highly considering the H&R but after seeing pictures I decided on the TRD springs. The TRD springs only drop it about 1.25 inches. The other two drop it a whole lot more. I really don't think the Tc looks good with a super low drop unless you've got at least 18" wheels. If you've got the bigger wheels go for the bigger drop. Also you can get better prices for the TRD springs on websites like www.trdsparks.com or www.mcgeorgeparts.com.

I am not a big fan of the TRD springs. I think they make the xB ride like a board. I am fond of the SPY Engineering springs for the xB's. They ride great and are now available in a 2" drop for the tC. That is what will go on mine when I finally get it.
