DUMBconseqUence Reg'd: Jul 10, 2008 Window Washer	is it worth it to pay an additional $199 for trd lowering springs from the scion dealer when i buy my new car? it only lowers it 25mm. doesnt seem too low. how low do you guys suggest? 1 inch?

krdshrk Reg'd: Sep 29, 2007 Godlike Advisor	It's all your preference. It mainly depends on how low you feel safe going, and also how much stress you want to place on the shocks/struts. If you go with a brand OTHER than the TRD springs, you will most likely have to replace the OEM Struts much sooner than if you get the TRD. TRD Drop is approx 1.25" to begin with, but after it settles, it goes down to more like 1.5" to 1.75" Scikotics NJ is sponsored by Lawrence Scion 2006 GReddy Turbocharged Automatic tC 220+ WHP - 14.044 @ 97.02 MPH

DUMBconseqUence Reg'd: Jul 10, 2008 Window Washer	so it basically gets lower over time? heh thx for the reply :]

krdshrk Reg'd: Sep 29, 2007 Godlike Advisor	Yes - they will settle in lower, and as time goes by (and your shocks wear out), they'll sink lower. I bought my TRD springs used, and they settled lower... and now that my shocks are very worn (almost 60k miles), they're at like, s-tech height (2+ inches lower)!

Orin Reg'd: Dec 08, 2005	Yep, when I first got my TRD springs the drop was subtle, but now they look even better (about 1.5 + after while)

RouletteTc Reg'd: Jul 06, 2007 Scion Guru	So, how long would my struts last on hotchkis. I'm putting my hotchkis springs on tomorrow with web and frankryzzo. Sorry to threadjack, Anyways, yea if your worries about being too low then trd is a good choice, because overtime as you want to go lower, they will haha. -Thanks for the sig Aciidsneaker

Orin Reg'd: Dec 08, 2005	The time your struts/shocks last with a decent drop is going to depend on your driving style and the roads you drive on. If you live in pothole land, it's going to be a good idea to get better shocks and struts. Vicious has been running s-techs on stocks for years and hasn't had any problems (unless there was something I missed)

DavidM21715 Reg'd: Jun 03, 2008 Window Washer	TRD Lowering Springs are great and everything but if your willing to pay $200 from the dealer talk to Greg at Carcandymotorsports.com and he'll hook ya up with Progress Tech Lowering Springs (im buying some next week) and they lower your car 1.8" and they're running around $160 shipped and from what Mayo told me (he's running Progess also) he's had them on his stock struts and havent had any problems. Of course I'm planning on buying Koni Adjustable Struts soon after installing the springs (also from Greg) so idk check around and see what prices, drop, and comments people have on they're springs and choose one that'll suit you most importantly

Orin Reg'd: Dec 08, 2005	^I'd have to agree. I bought the TRD because of the dealer discount I got, but if I had $200 to spend, I'd be getting Progress springs fo sho

Graygod Reg'd: May 08, 2008 Detailer	How much would the dealership charge to install the TRD springs? I am very hesitant to try anything spring/shock related on my own, and I don't want to go to a shop unless I get a warranty(which i know toyota would give). I also live in an area where i have to drive over 259,239 speed bumps a day. So if I lower, it would have to be very minimal... which the TRD seem to be. Any thoughts on this?

armygirl718 Reg'd: Dec 19, 2007 *Just Keep Swimming!*	I spent 175$ on the TRD springs (160$ + 15$ shipping) ! They are on sale right now at www.trdsparks.com if u want them. http://www.itsmyscion.com/armygirl718 http://www.myspace.com/navsegdamaskva
