Just got the TRDs installed today and some odd numbers for height before and after. Left rear reads 1.625" lower. But roughly, 1" lower front and 1.25" right rear which is OK for me. I will give some time to settle and will post final numbers and pics. By this time I'll check if something wrong with the LR...

Was that with a full tank of gas I find my car sits off with less gas but over all even, not on TRD tho

Thats awesome... In cutting a little bit of my front ones. (Its safe) to lower a bit more Just got the TRDs installed today and some odd numbers for height before and after.

Before and after readings were taken with the same quantity of gas, about half tank.

Make sure the rear springs are both sitting correctly in their perches, which have depressions to hold them. And that you re-used your stock top hats.

[gojon17]

thats kind of weird... mine went down about 1.5 inches all around... Red trds Before and after readings were taken with the same quantity of gas, about half tank.

[ddeschen]

Measures taken from ground to top/center of wheel well. 2 sets of measures were taken with the car moved in between. The final number represent the average.

BEFORE

FL: 25 7/16” FR: 25 1/2”
RL: 25 3/4” RR: 25 13/16”

AFTER

FL: 24 7/16” FR: 24 3/8”
RL: 24 3/16” RR: 24 5/8”

The job was make at a shop with an experienced mechanic. I trust their capabilities and could not imagine they did something wrong. At least, winter is almost over here and Ill switch to summer wheels/tires next week and will take this opportunity to have a check while the car is jacked.

Final result; the fit is perfect with the 205/50/16. Exactly what I wanted.

[Exiwolfman]

Looks good ....no rub ?

Nice set up! ;)

Just noticed your near Montreal.........I'm in Rigaud.

[gojon17]

Wow looks good!! perfect gap i would say!! Final result; the fit is perfect with the 205/50/16. Exactly what I wanted.

Over the first year mine settled at least one inch past the 1.5" specified. Looks rather slammed now. Stock Yari look like 4X4"s in comparison.

[gojon17]

Man would mind posting pics?? some of the wheel gap as well??? :)

10 days after.... Still happy with the springs and no rubbing so far. One thing I noticed is the significant improvement of straight line stability in strong winds. This is achieved by the TRD springs combined with the 205/50/16 tires. Major difference with this combination.

[trunkout]

I noticed that too after lowering springs. Doesn't jump around as much with hydroplanning also!

crazy site will not let me post pic's. Best you can do is check the pic under my user name.

I have TRD springs for almost a year now, with TRD shocks, cut bump stops in front in half. Wheels Konig Feathers 15x6.5. Tires are 185/60R15 Continental ProContact with EcoPlus Technology. I'm at 30.5 psi in fronts and 31.5 psi in rears. I like this set up cause I can go over speed bumps and I have enough cushion where, when I go over rough pavement my dash doesn't rattle. Handling is good I can still drive like I am in my upgraded WRX, yet have great gas mileage, and taller tire means I can have more people in car and still clear speed bumps which I am surrounded by.

[gojon17]

Anyways this is mine with trd springs and 17 inch rims

205/55R15 is not going to make your car lower than your stock 185/60R15. just FYI..

[monchito18]

I had them! really nice springs, really stiff.

[gojon17]

yeah they are.. my only mistake about this was cutting bumstops too much... fricking rubbing is awful

ok ...bumpstops are just that they are there to stop ur strut from bottoming out saving them from damage ...by having them longer will stop rubbing but all that ur doing is riding on them as for bounce that is do to worn out struts/shocks a proper set up will have no bounce and bumpstops will only come in to play if u hit something , like a pothole in the road.

[gojon17]

My shocks are fine... it only rubs when i go on deeps on highway.. but theres some on my way to work and i hate that.. i cut like 3/4 of bumstop... what im gonna do is put 1/4 more so its like i just cut half.
Its not like im bouncing everywhere... But when road gets bad i rub and hate that... Either fix that or work on fenders... I do all the stuff on the bodyshop i work at... so me very lucky i have plenty of tools... i also trimmed my front springs just a bit so it lowers it a bit more in front.. thats why it rubs even more

think what u need is stiffer springs one can only go so low with out going to coilover setup ...or body work.

or stiffer struts

no bump stop cutting recommended for TRD springs. I have FatCat bump stops installed and while some rubbing occurs no bottoming has been experienced in 5 years now. TRD dampers surely help prevent that much motion.

true on TRD springs front only .5 lower over stock...anything lower and do cut.
