I'm SO jealous... 1stOne gets all the cool toys...

You know, Florida is the only state in the USA without snow. It would be a good way for your team to get some inspiration. You can fly down here, test on a nice, shiny Metallic Gray Car... Maybe install an exhaust, brakes, intake...

It looks like they are, but hard to tell. The nice thing is the TRD's are engineered to work with the stock shocks/struts as well as the sway bars when they launch. So, you can have a nice, warranty approved suspension kit that is engineered to actually make the car perform better as well as look better!

Thats win, win....WIN!

Sounds like someone wants some snow. Send us your address and we'll gladly ship you some! Don't want anyone feeling left out now!

Stay tuned. Now you have a good thread to come back to when the time comes to go TRD shopping! When the parts launch you no longer have to wait for someone to make the first steps! Better yet, live track testing coming this summer! Oh the excitement!

Thank you sir.

Yes, all the TRD calipers are red. Goes well on the white I might add though.

Totally forgot about these photos!

The TRD brakes will work even better this summer when they get put to work stopping these:





All 255/40R18 of Yokohama Advan AD08 goodness!

Stay tuned for more coming soon...

How does the ride feel now with the TRD Springs?

I'm kinda torn whether if I should go with the TRD Springs, H-techs, or wait for more springs to hit the market.

Honestly, they were the best thing I ever did to the car. The sacrifice in road manners is almost nothing but the stance and feel of them is greatly enhanced.

I would highly suggest them to anyone looking for springs.

Well...sort of.

At this point its really just a build which will serve the purpose of daily driving, auto-x, and some occasional lapping.

A proper alignment will be performed this summer once all parts testing is completed and even though some of the parts installed are overkill, the final setup for the car will be geared towards Solo2 events.

You can go to TRDUSA.com and find the part number and take it to your dealer. The lowering springs are available now, the part number is PTR11-21100. I am ordering mine tomorrow as soon I get to work, hopefully gonna get them tuesday. If your Dealership can't find them for you PM me and I'll get you a price.

good, glad that worked out for ya. I had a heck of a time trying to find the part numbers for the TRD stuff, Toyota/Scion isn't doing a great job of keeping the database that dealerships look up parts on updated.
