Google images, it works, and took less than posting this new thread.



They do not come with the top mount, you have to take them from your factory ones.

Edit: Misread, trying to post while clocking back into work FTL.

EDIT 2: Here ya go

What about the springs, are they a specific one for the coils? Are there any places to get parts for them, random I know, but there is a set on eBay but it's just the struts essentially.

At 1 thread left.







Great coils. Just as always.... wish I could go lower.

But if you do the research... a few others have been on TRD/Progress coils. They go decently low. But not low enough, IMO.

I'd like to know about springs too. Springs that would let me go lower would be awesome. But I know that Progress will do the rebuild when needed. I'm gonna ship mine out to them sooner or later.

yeah search eBay for them, only about $500 but they're just the coilover, not hats, spanners etc.

I'm on 17x8 +35 wheels. No camber kit. Natural camber. I had to slightly roll the fronts and remove a portion of the fender liner to keep from rubbing. In the rear I rolled the fenders because I planned on running aggressive wheels, but it isn't necessary for my wheel size. I need to shave the rear bumper a bit though. I rub on it constantly.

You'll may have to cut a portion of the fender liner away. But that's all. And drive carefully.

No idea. I never had any squeaking issues. You could always lube them up with some white lithium grease :shrug:
