So if I plan on getting the TRD shocks and lowering springs, I won't need to cut my stock bumper-stops? I can leave them w/o any modifications?

What if I get the TRD shocks first and then lowering springs later on (I'd be using the stock springs or if the TRD shocks come with springs, those springs until I get the TRD lowering springs), would I need to cut the stock bumper-stops in that case?

If you don't change the springs, you don't need to cut the bump stops.

You can do it later when you put on your springs.

So do the TRD shocks come with those white springs I see in all the pics. I've seen of the shocks or is my dealer supposed to use my stock springs with the TRD shocks?

In either case (the white springs or the stock springs) they don't have to cut the bump stops right?

I plan on getting just the TRD shocks for now, then the TRD lowering springs and that $100 something bump stop kit I've seen in another thread here so that I won't have to cut the stock bump stops.

Which post? I just want to know for sure if the TRD shocks come with the white springs they're always pictured with:


If not, then I can use the stock springs w/ the TRD shocks and not have to cut the bump stops.

Later on when I get the TRD lowering springs, I'll also get this bump stop kit so I won't have to cut my stock bump stops:

Conicelli Toyota has the TRD shocks for the liftback for $304 with free shipping. That's a lot less than I paid.

Got my TRD spring, shock and strut package from Sparks. It was sold with red springs....TRD calls it the Sportivo package. Instructions included did not say to cut bump stops. If you get them, check the installation instructions. I am pretty sure you can just install the struts and shocks as a replacement but would not reap the rewards of the total package. Same applies to just the springs. As a further note...in the instructions TRD advises that the best results are obtained when the total package combined with a specific size wheel and tire combo are installed. I followed that except for the wheels and tires. Did it myself and have had no problems.

TRD's supplied instructions state nothing about modifying the bump stops.
I did use the FatCat Motorsport stops and spacers with the TRD shocks, springs and swaybar.
I am happy to report that all is working flawlessly and the new found handling exceeds my expectations.
