TRD Lowering Springs - *INFO NEEDED*

Postby ampreston85 » Mon Jun 01, 2009 2:38 am

Alright, so I've decided that my first aftermarket upgrade that i will be doing this week or next will be some TRD Lowering Springs... Curious, because again i know very little about cars and am learning everyday i read these forums... W/ installing these lowering springs, will i need different rims/tires? And will the 1.2 - 1.5" drop cause rubbing of any kind? Looking at my car, it would appear that i have a few inches all around the wheel well, but i want clarification before i order these bad boys. Also i wanna keep all handling performance mods in the TRD family, however if there are some better brand parts for these mods, plz let me know. Thnx for all your help guys!

The most important part about rubbing is the wheel size, specifically the offset and width. With those two measurements in mind, it's kinda easy to predict whether you'll rub or not.

Once you figure that out, give this a check (http://www.solaraguy.com/viewtopic.php?t=36986) and see if anyone has the same setup and if his car has rubbing issues.

Those are Eibachs and you can get for a lot less on the web (Tire Rack for example). You shouldn't have any problems with them (I had them on my 97 Camry)....but the ride could be bouncy if the shocks aren't up to the task. You can always add those later. BTW...I will be selling my H&R springs CHEAP (10K miles on them in EXCELLENT condition). Private message me for info.
