WHERE DID THESE COME FROM!!! http://www.trdusa.com/partscatalog.c...subcategory=38



since when does trd have a coil over for the tc!?!?!?!

 

well it makes perfect sense, i mean, i just got my trd lowering springs and struts nearly a month ago. it i so only natural that they would release these now.

 

nice, wonder who makes it?

 

hmm... it's in the computer.. but i dunno if it's really available yet.

part number: PTR11-21070

i'm curious who makes it too.. i'll try to look further into it.

 

its been discussed before. Their pretty pricey i believe more than $1100 if i remember right? Not too sure on who sells it yet tho?

 

it has been? where was I? why was i not informed?

 

very nice.

1100 isnt too pricey for a coilover tho, its relatively cheap if it has adjustablilty.

im gonna go out on a limb and say they are made by progress, but its a complete guess.

 

i would say progress too since they make the TRD rear sway bar? Yea come to think of it, not that bad but then again dont quote me on it. Depending on how they ride i could pick up a set? You would think if they were true it would be out by now? Maybe someone should email TRDSparks.com and see what they say or if they know anything on it?

 

i checked the site and they have them availible for the matrix.

so with a little bit of searching i found that they do not have adjustable dampening, which in turn leads me to think once again these are made by progress.

also, the are about 1400 for the coilovers, so its a hefty price for beginner coilovers.

 

the price i see on the computer is $1622.50 for MSRP

$1100 is at cost

 

can you get any more info?

spring rates, dampening adjustablilty, height adjustability?

who the original manufacturer is?

 

what i have right now is access to the dealership's parts computer.. which is where i found the msrp.

i'd say dealerships should aim more towards the $1400 price range to sell it though.. and availabilty is unknown to me as well.

if i was able to get ahold of them in person i would probably be able to examine its origin... but as for right now.. considering that Toyota has looked into Progress into doing suspension stuff (even for the pro/celeb cars)

Progress would be my best guess too.

 

Its funny even TRD would name them coilovers... since our stock setup is technically a coilover. Funny how names stick.

 

1-1.5 drop for 1100 is quite craptacular

 

For that I'd rather get a set of the super street tiens plus u can add the edfc later on

 

Well. a lot of people prefer performance over max drop. Dropping a car too low kills handling. If I remember from Ricks measurements, somewhere between 1.5 and 2" is as far as you want to go on the tC before you start negatively affecting handling.

 

Hmm trd sparks has progress ones. so maybe the same.

 

i dont see the correlation

 

the catalog I have only have coilover for the matrix and the celica. I miss my celica GTS

 

Well, technically, they are still correct. These are coilovers. They never said what you have on there now is not. ;)
