My ride + another bump stop question

No they don't mention in the instructions but don't be surprised by the harsh ride on the rear. It's common sense.

No harsh ride with my TRD set-up and full bump-stops. Perhaps when folks mix and match various manufactures dampers, shocks, etc or lower the car and stay with stock, underachieving dampers. With the TRD package no such issues arise.

Actually the TRD springs are said to provide a 1.25 inch drop both front and rear. However, as mine are now several years old and over 100,000 kilometers young the drop is at least 2 inches. Still no bottoming.

Don't know where u get ur numbers but when I go on the TRD Web pg at Toyota dealership it's only. 5 front drop and no requirement to cut bump stops as per Toyota install, it's always wise to cut bump stops by the amount u drop/lower ur car.

Perhaps those spec's are for the current models. Mine is 2008 and the drop was definite. No more stock/off-road look after the install.

You looking at TRD specs, or Toyota Canada Lowering springs? Either way, neither spring has been as low as .5 inch. TRD I thought was always spec'd at 1.25, and Toyota Canada Springs (Eibach Pro-kits) at 1 inch.
