TRD Sport Suspension installed!

WOW, that was very easy to do. Had a lot of fun doing it to.

Noticing a much stiffer launch off the line.
Way more fun in the corners.
cant wait to take it on the week and a half long mountain trip!

Kudos to this Forum!
Made my decisions easy on the quality of ride i would like from my suspension.
Had great instructions.
oh and they rent the spring compressor for free here in Canada. Not sure what the USA is like.

Now. thinking of getting the rear sway bar.

What other suspension components are to be considered for replacing?
Do we have a wearable pitman arm?
Do i need to get an alignment?

Thanks!

The rear swaybar should complete your setup as far as TRD goes. I have all that and love the way it handles. My next step is to lose an inch more in drop....but again happy with TRD.

I had the TRD springs and sway bar for a while and it was a different car. It handled beautifully but on long hauls over worn mountain roads it was very jarring so I removed the springs but kept the sway bar. I miss the better cornering but not the roughness. I guess I'm getting old. Since the sway bar was my first mod I know it's still considerably better than not having one.
