Default TRD Springs & Shocks Installed

I had my TRD Springs & Shocks installed this past sunday by moderator and awesome guy BrianxB. Here are some shots from the install

Stock setup bout to come out


Comparison between stock and TRD


Brian gets started


Brian and his brother crompressing the new spring. A somewhat PITA


One corner done, 3 to go


Looks like someone may have farted?


Fronts done, lets tap dat @$$


Rear TRD shocks are basically the same as the stock ones


Rears are in


Here she a few hours after the install


I like the drop. It is nice without being too low and the ride hasn't really changed that much. I think the car looks much better now that it's lower.

BIG THANKS to BrianxB and his brother for their help on this install and saving me from a raping from a shop.

Looks much better. I'm still debating whether I want to go with the TRD struts (I have Hotchkis springs) or just splurge on the H&R coilovers... grr...

I choose TRD cause for me and what I do with the car, coilovers would be overkill. These have a decent drop while maintaining a nice ride quaility. However, like i said, I choose them based on what I do with the car

....and no one go to that weird place with exhaust pipes and stuff when I say what I do with the car...come on...pervs
