I just finished installing the TRD shocks and springs and already had the TRD strut tower brace and rear sway bar. I was planning on doing an alignment right away, but it seems that everything is fine, we'll see how it goes

Fuqua, did you do the CAI yet? I was curious how that is working out here in the Pacific NW with all the rain. I am kind of new to mods so was curious about any issues with water being inhaled by it.

 

I have had the CAI done for about 3 weeks and all it has done is rain almost every day. No issues and it has an awesome sound and the butt dyno says more power. I believe that you should have no problems because of the bends in the pipe and the location of the filter. Maybe someone with more knowledge could enlighten us more. You liking the tanabes?

 

Yes, just wish they were a little lower. I guess if springs truly settle (first car I've ever lowered) it will be good. I already had TRD and the main difference is the back end. The ride is the same bump wise.

 

If you want to go a little lower than the Tanabe NFs but not all the way to the DFs, take a look at the Eibach Sportline springs. They drop the car 1.25"F, 2.25" rear, making it completely level, and they are progressive both front and rear. I will be installing mine soon. Tanabe springs probably won't "settle" because along with Eibachs, they are some of the few springs that are cold-wound.

 

According to timmer357's original thread, he put in the DF210's, not the NF210's.
