Hey guys I just bought some TRD lowering springs off ebay, for 225 i think that is a good deal. I went to the dealership here in Santa Fe and he looked in his inventory and they didnt have crap. One person had them on back order with nothing planned for the future. So did I get a good deal???

Here's how I tell...

Would you have paid more for them?

Yes? Then you got a good deal...
No? Then you didn't get a good deal...

End of question.

(I'm not being facetious... everyone's idea of a "good deal" is different... that's the best way I know of to judge...)

I concur. You got them for around their original price; no more, no less. Be happy with your purchase, the springs rock.

From what I know this is the struts that are different between SE and SLE...TRD spring are shorter 1.2"F and 1.4"R...

Now start looking for the install deal. That's not an SLE is it? If so we have some bad reports of those struts w/ TRD springs. If it's SE, you're good to go.

Question about the lowering springs. I see that the years listed as available for springs only goes through 2005 for TRD and Eibach. I just bought a 2007. Will the 2005 springs work?
