Here are my measurements on Stock coils:
The measurements are taken from the VERY END of the bottom coil...where it actually ends (end of the *tail*) straight up to the TOP coil. I measured ALL the way (not to the middle of the width) ...the FULL WIDTH of the coil wire itself.

FRONT (Bigger coils). The measure 15 1/4"

REAR (Smaller Coils) measures 14 1/4"

Basically it looks like these STOCK may be longer than yours yours. Measure again FROM THE END of the TAIL of each BOTTOM coil STRAIGHT UP to make sure.

Why not just pull one of the fronts off your car and compare the 2. The front assembly comes off pretty easily.

I think the new production TRD springs no longer have labels on them. But they are made to look like the stock springs.

I haven't played with spring/strut set-up in a while.

Only have the fronts..brand new. They should drop your car 1 3/4-2'' in front.

this would mean basically the only difference in the springs are 1/4 of an inch? then why not just cut the stock springs? i know the weight issue ratio distribution etc may ruin the ride but i bet thats what eibach does anyways for TRD...they probably just modify stock springs and sell it to idiots like us lol

I used to have TRD/Eibach springs and I'm pretty sure those are stock springs.

you got ripped off those are STOCK springs!!!

They will say TRD on them and they coil more at the bottom

How much did u pay for them?

by **ToyoSolV6** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 12:00 pm

wow! thanks for all the input guys! i payed 185 for them.
and check this out, Im assuming the dude doesnt want to give me my money back becuase i called him and he told me "ohh just hold on to them until i collect your money to give it back to you"
so im thinking like what kind of crap is that! If your going to sell something be legit about it and dont screw people over. Did he think i would not find out or something! but oh well now im going to pursue him until he gives me my damn money back. Man! people like this really piss me off, they act really cool and they keep you under the impression that they crap theyre selling is good and turns out that he screwed me over! im pissed man!!!!
