Well I got tired of waiting for someone else to do it and post pics and let me know what they thought. So I had it done :) . Let me tell you I think the ride is ALOT better it's a little stiffer over bumps nothing that would make you wish you didn't do it . Cornering and getting rid of the gap between the tires and car is Great well worth it. I for one am Glad to have gotten it done . Sorry for the crapy pics the sun was going down I did the best I could to get them posted tonight.

Sorry I forgot to take before pics .... These are all after !!!!

How much did you pay in the end? Did you get it realligned? Is it worth it for the steep price? I think it looks very nice and am probably going to do it within a couple weeks.

Have you had any clearance problems? Driveways? Parking lots? Speedbumps? Any scraping at all?

Thanks for all the compliments.. It cost me 420 to have installed and 200 for the springs total 620 .I got it done at a trd recommended Toyota dealer.
No clearance problems that was my fear but nothing yet not even a little scraping. I'm not sure if they have to do an alignment, if they did it's not on the receipt as a separate item so unless it was included in the cost I don’t know. I can tell you if they didn't do one it doesn’t need one its fine :)

I highly recommend it to anyone thinking about doing it . It's well worth it

Ok I found out from the dealer they do a full alignment as part of the spring install. I was also told a camber kit is not needed.

Well the 420 also includes a full alignment and peace of mind if you have issues later that they did the install and can't blame something on the way it was installed I'll pay extra for that .

I think its more like 1.4 and 1.6 on the TRD once it settles .I'll try and get more pics and a measurement . It's all taste I personaly love the new look and handling and wouldnt want it much lower. I'l have no scarping or driveway problems thus far and thats a big one I wanted to avoid
