Ok, I just bought some TRD springs and am in search of pics of them installed. I know it's probably been asked millions of times and I searched thru the users but could find any good pics showing the ride height. I just wanna see how much of a drop i'll get and how it will look. If you could post some pics of ur celi or A celi with TRD springs showing ride height. Thanks

Eibach Sportline springs and TRD springs are the same; I'm dropped on KYB GR-2 struts.

The ride is great, I have no complaints whatsoever. KYB GR-2 are, as far as I know, the cheapest OEM replacement strut, but they're fine for this type of lowering. They are warranted up to 1.5".

Eibach Sportline springs and TRD springs are the same; I'm dropped on KYB GR-2 struts. I believe TRD springs are Pro-kit. -------------------- God made man....

I believe TRD springs are Pro-kit. Pro-Kit springs are black and so are TRD springs...but I read somewhere that they are Sportline springs though. Not sure. -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

Yeah pretty sure pro-kit is TRD springs and not sportline.
It's a good drop although the rear doesn't sit low enough for my liking. These should give you an idea. btw swissferdi your car looks awsome! ![]()

btw swissferdi your car looks awsome! Thanks man, I really appreciate that. How is it that yours looks the same in the rear and even a bit lower in the front than mine, yet you're on Pro-Kit springs?
