I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you just said... Are you selling your springs?

 

yeah i am...im suprised you would want them are you not selling your car

 

the rear sway bar keeps the car from rolling too much in turns--it's a very good investment if you're interested in improving the handling. the sway bar combined w/ the front strut bar is a nice set-up for me--the ride is a little stiffer, but not too much--it's a good trade off. If you lower the car in addition to this, expect a somewhat stiffer ride.

(If you get the TRD rear sway bar, you can of course adjust how stiff you want it to be: the "street" setting is more comfortable (at the expense of handling--it's still quite an improvement over the stock setup), and the "race" setting is a little more harsh but keeps the car quite flat in the turns.

 

As explained in previous posts, I'm selling off my current car, and having those installations on the 06 NBM tC coming in next month. I'm highly interested in installing those TRD Parts to my car because it'll improve the ride and appearance. I'm adding in the performance shocks to keep the ride smooth, and the Sway and Strut bars to improve handling on the new car.

Thanks for educating me,
Tim

 

You'll love the TRD spring/shock combination, I just did mine last week and it's been great. Some people notice the drop, others don't. It almost seems as if using the TRD struts makes the drop a little bit more noticeable than stock. Had to compress the springs more to mount them since the TRD shocks were a bit shorter, well at least I did. Took us all of three hours to do not including tearing out part of the interior, course I did mine at a shop.

With this setup I don't really have to worry too much about speed bumps and all much more than I did before with the stock setup. I only have to worry about getting too close to the curb at work (very tall curb that almost scraped on stock anyhow), and few dips that everyone scrapes unless theyre in a jacked up truck anyhow.

I also have the TRD rear sway bar and hotchkis front strut bar, I say go for those too, it'll make the car more stable and less body roll. Both are easy installs as long as you dont do them with the car on the ground.

TRD oil filter is ok, I got one of those when I picked my springs and struts up at mcgeorge's. It's nothing great, just an oil filter, just a bit less restrictive than standard filter. If I remember correctly its got a fram part number so you could technically pick up the "same" filter for cheaper at a place like walmart. Don't think I'm gonna buy another one, think I'll go for a standard next time or see if I can find the same part under the fram name.

 

THANKS, now I'm all hyped up in getting those installed into my car, thanks everyone!

stechs have a 2" drop though as opposed to TRD's having 1" or 1.5".

 

I'm going to get the...
Tanabe DF210!

2 inch drop & it's smoother than all other springs.

 

ummm who told u it was smoothest? more drop = harsher

 

And you'll need a camber kit and new struts. TanabeDF210 springs = more $$ needed to spend on parts

 

NF210? For what you want, DF210 sounds wrong.

Okay, my mistake...

NS210... What should I combine with it to make it smooth?

Should I still do TRD Performance Shocks?

What else would make it smoother?

Thanks in advance,
Tim

 

i got my TRD springs put on today. i love them! firms up the ride a noticeable ammount, amd theres a lot less body roll. overall, i really like them.

will i need a camber adjustment though? i can see with my eyes its at least a degree or two off. is it enough to need a camber kit and get it re-straightened? the alignment in terms going in a straight line is spot-on.
