im getting new struts and shocks too but jus wanted to see wat drop to get with them

 

I voted for TRD. i like the drop of H-techs more but the ride is better with trd.

what struts and shocks are you getting? im guessing trd as well...

 

yeah i love the stance on htechs but im gonna end up egtting TRD springs especially since im getting them for a good price too.

and for struts i am gonna get TRDs i was thinking maybe tokico or koni yellows too but nah ill stick with the TRD stuff

 

BUMP

 

where r u buying your struts and springs?
im saving up to lower my car right now so looking for good places to buy

 

the springs im actually getting off a friend of mine for 90 bucks she used them for 5k miles barely used still basically brand new

and for the struts my friend works at toyota here in NY and hes getting them for me dirt cheap bc seemed like sum1 ordered them for there tc and then they backed out and never took them so he has them laying on his tool box for me to go pik them up

 

hm any1 wit stockies and TRD springs wanna share there pics?

 

i have pics with stockies but its with my 225/45/r17 azenis on there. I'm gonna be switching my 215/45/r17 all seasons back on today cause its snowing right now lol. I'll take some pics after i do. O and by the way. From what i can tell from pics i've seen, the TRD struts and shocks makes it like .25-.5" lower in the back and like .5-1" lower in the front. But its still not that low. Aight, I'm gonna head out into this like 20 degree weather to go switch my wheels and tires. The only reason i like the cold is for snowboarding...and cause my car makes more power

 

ohh ok yeah man if u can post pics whenever lmk thanx again. oh really the trds do that? still not too bad.

lmfaooo this wetaher sux it snowed earlier today lol its freezing. hahaha

 

TRDs should settle to about 1.25" of drop. It is a completely noticeable drop, even people who dont know the tC notice mine is lowered. Sitting next to one that is not lowered it is big difference.

 

fail, dbl post FTL

2. rear- 2 finger gap
3. front- 3 finger gap

sorry it took so long

 

okay...so how come I never saw this thread lol I sent you the pics of the springs so check your email!!!

 

ohhh and trd's ftw! But I like exaggerated lowered cars so im a stech ftw kinda chick now lol even though its still not low enough for me...hahaa

 

TRD + stockies.

 

not trying to thread jack.. but do the h techs NEGATIVELY affect the handling in any way?
i thought it was only the s techs cuz the stance was TOO low

 

i honestly do not know. But i have been told by a hardcore Auto-x wh*re that the TRD springs yield the best handling for the tC. And i can confidently say that they hugely helped with handling on my car. But it could be that they were the finishing touch for my setup. I still want some TRD struts and shocks and hotchkis camber links tho

 

pics look great looks like my decision is made im goin wit trd. and then ill evantually get sum camber links aswell thanx everybody i cant wait my cars been needing it sicne 04 when i got it lmaooo

 

i read your mods in your profile, LOL!!!!

 

LMFAOOOO haha yeah its sum serious horsepower i got lmfao
