^ I doubt that much but maybe yes. Give it a couple of weeks to settle.

If they're anything like my TRD springs you can expect them to settle in about another inch lower after a year or so. I'm considering replacing mine now at approximately 100,000 kilometers as the ride is now too low (read: increased rubbing) for my 18" TRD wheel/tire package.

Mine settled on my 2007 a bit at first and kept settling for over a year. They were great fun on twisty mountain roads.

Thread from the dead!

I would reccommend getting the TRD Sportivo shocks along with the springs. The ride and handling is really good as they were engineered to work together. Price was really good as well!
