So in other words you should have gotten H-Techs or Hotchkis?

I 'm riding on stock wheels and TRD springs and I wish I would've gone with Htechs. The TRD front rides a little too high for me, and the Htech fronts are perfect.

Actually, if I had the money, I'd get Htechs on front and TRDs on back - that would look perfect (Htech rears sit a little too low I think)

i currently have TRDs and I'm riding on 18s, and I will be switching to hotchkis. a trd drop leaves way too much gap on the front.

Don't mean to ninja the thread, but do you need a compressor to install Hotchkis springs?

Hey scion jon did you install your TRD's or did you pay someone. Since the trd drop isnt that drastic do you still need to get an alignment? Just wondering b/c I know quite a few people who didnt and are dropped lower than w/ trds and have no uneven tire wear or pulling to one side or the other and been dropped for 10 to 20k miles.

scionjon, thats the perfect drop right there, but its odd how most trd drops aren't as nice as that. I have the trds as well and I can fit 3 fingers in the front and 2 in the rear. I will be switching out to hotchkis which i should have done originally.
