works well too.

nero

i went to tirerack and found the H&R sport springs

dropped the car about 1.6 but it says it will drop only 1.4

it will work with the stock shocks, but i got the TRD shocks a week after i had the springs in...it dropped it a lil more actually

check out www.tirerack.com

they should have them for good price

you have a pic of your tC with this setup? It dropped the rear and front by both 1.6? if its the same one you have in the profile it looks almost like the TRD spring drop. nice car by the way.

so the TRD shocks dropped it a little more? how much?

on the tC;s ive seen, the TRD springs only dropped the car like 1.2 or so

the front(with stock tires on) is about 1.6 and the rear is like 1.5 or so

with the wheels it doesn't look as low...just how it is

puttin the TRD shocks on(despite wut others say) does help the car settle/lower more, but not a drastic amount, but u can tell

i don't have a good pic with my stock tires on and the springs

ill try and find one or put them on and take one for you

so how big of a finger gap do you have now? and before you took out the stock tires if you remember. i would love to see pics. i wanted something lower than the TRD springs but I don't want to damage the stock shocks. i was thinking about getting the TRD shocks but i don't know if i should just wait for something else or get them now. they are pretty cheap right now.

sparks is running hot deals on pacakages. makes me almost wish i had waited to do the drop. i have about a finger gap in the rear, and about a 2 finger gap in the front, but thats with 18's and 40 series. thinking about dropping the front a bit more to even it out, but now i am curious to see it done with the shock swap as well.

the gap i have now with the aftermarket wheels/tires is not even two fingers...

with the stock tires it was bout the same

any set of springs that doesn' t lower ur car TOO much wont' damage ur stock shocks....if u go too low it can damage the shocks/struts unless u get stronger ones...

I thought this was about sway bars?

Anyway, I've seen a couple places listing the Hotckis sway bar kits now. If they aren't shipping (which they certainly might be) then they're coming very soon.

I already have the TRD lowering springs on. I don't know if that's makes a difference or not. Should I just stick with TRD?

Thanks!
I have the TRD rear sway bar and am very happy with it. I have to take a turn very hard to notice any body roll. in those corners I have more body roll than my car does.
