Bad replies!
NO - you will not have ability for 100% alignment. You can't align the rear fully without modification. It's a camber issue - it's not a big deal, but you cannot compensate with stock parts.
Frankly, I am surprised that folks on this board are telling you that you can get 100% spec alignment! You may want to try different boards. I have the paperwork and explanation from Toyota to prove that lowering the xD takes the car out of spec in the rear.
I did have the full alignment done after settling and was given a report on the rear to explain the situation. I'm at 15K miles and with normal tire rotation, I have not noticed ANY performance / wear issues that would cause me any concern.

I was thinking about going with the TRD Lowering Springs, TRD Shock Absorbers and the TRD Sway Bar on my 2010 XD... Question???
1. Will I have the ability for 100% alignment after the springs have settled?
2. Has anyone had any long term issues with such modification's? ( Any issues with part failure's ETC...) Thanks for your help!!!

bought car winter of 08. like february 08. I'm getting the hang of getting this car to turn and it's being really smooth with the steering input. too quick and the power steering seems to "mess up". the car gets all crazy then. BUt yeah, I still swear the RS1's sit lower than mine.

Put the 23mm rear sway on last night. I was going to wait til spring but a new issue came up. I put on a new set of snow tires and took the car on a curvy road and the combination of the soft snow tires and sway gave me an uneasy feeling. So I put the sway bar on and took that road again and pushed the car and it felt amazing. Now I want to put my Rotas back on and test it but im going to wait.
