So im finally dropping my car after 2/3 years of having it. i didnt want a crazy drop bc living in NYC is a pain in the a$$. So i want ur Opinions and advice and anything you wanna throw in here. if u wanna throw pics of ur car with either springs on it taht would be kool. but if not jus take the poll and LMK which one would u choose or which ones u have.

thanx again everybody!

I NEED A DROP!!!!

::EDIT::

PIC REQUEST

ok so i chose TRD springs. but now i need a favor ANY1 with A TRD DROP and stockies can u guys post pics of ur car so i can see how it looks. i Found the "POST YOUR LOWERED TC HERE" thread but theres 90 pages and to look threw eachone i stoped at 20 pages and all i saw was hotchkis and other springs.

thanx every1 in advanced i really appreciate it

 

TRD

 

alryte kool thanx. u dropped on TRDs? hows the ride quality on them?

 

If you want it to handle well, go TRD. Htechs are too low for the cars geometry.

TRDs ride rougher than stock (a lower spring should ride rougher) but not too bad.

 

+1, couldnt have said it better myself.

The TRD springs yield the best handling of any of the springs for our car. The only way to get better is with coilovers. And as far as the ride, my car rides better than any other lowered car I've ridden in.

And yea i'm lowered on TRD's (w/ hotchkis sways, dezod endlinks. hotchkis strut tower brace, ingalls rear brace, falken azenis, and axxis ultimate pads) and i beat 240sx's (one of which had coilovers, a lsd, and summer tires) yesterday at an Auto-x

I only had one qualifying run too lol. Didn't even figure out the course until my last run (/tard) and finished 2nd in STS. Only thing i lost to was an Integra with falken azenis driven by my buddy who has autocrossed numerous times and it was my first.

 

did you poll the other new yorkers? i know when i go home i see a bunch of lowered tc's. ask in the regional also.

 

usually the people here in NY have TRD's tahst y i figured one of these two would be good for the horrible NYC streets. i seen 2 people with stechs but they had OEM lip kits and there front lip was detsroyed and my boy has hotchkis and it looks really good

but i didnt weant anything so crazy TRD settles really well at around 1.5 all around and it covers that ugly wheel gap

 

so every1 in favor of TRDs?

 

yea i agree i like the look. Im suppose to go install my springs this weekend...

 

i mean i drive in Bburg with my TRDs and never scrape. and lol at no one suggesting just keep it stock

 

we put h-techs on my girlfriends car and i must say it rides pretty nice. we've got some f'd up roads over here in cali too and we've only scraped the front maybe like 2 or 3 times.

 

lmfaoo hell naw no stock anymore ive been keeping it stock (drop wise) bc of the roads but im finally takign the plunge after 3 years of having the car its about time lol i drive carful as it is so scraping isnt an issue. htechs are really nice because i liek how the front is lower then the bak it looks nicee

 

ive always been a tein fan (had s-techs on my nissan), but if both are great. TRD= warrenty maybe?

 

Go with the TRDs.

 

yeah i love teins and the drop is nice i liek the lower in the front thing they got goin but nahh no warranty lmao i lost that mayeb i dunno 65,000 miles ago lmaooo i have 71k now TRD is nice for me looks like i amde my choice thanx alot every1

 

TRDs. If you decide to switch out your shoes with 18s, these are the way to go. I've had 18x7.5s,
18x8s, and 18x8.5s (all with a +35 offset) and have almost never rubbed. Only on extreme dips.
People say TRDs don't make the tC look lowered but I beg to differ...

18x7.5


18x8


18x8.5

Looks lowered to me.

 

i have trds... u can tell its dropped if u stare at it.. but with a lip kit and some 18s itll look good...

 

i like h-techs because the drop is lower and it rides great and handles better with the stock struts

 

h techs

 

are you gonna change the struts too or just get new springs?
