TRD Springs Installed!! *pics*

[geoff5093]

I got my TRD springs installed yesterday with help from dexter and whiteboy, everything went great except we stripped the bolt on a sway bar link, so that has to be replaced, but other then that everything is great. Heres a before and after pic.

AFTER:

Looks good!

But how come the rear end looks like it sags more in the 2nd pic?

[CharmCityES]

looks great as usual

[Epsilon]

Looks 10x better.

More pics please!

[darksparkz]

Looks a lot better. The rear does look like it sags a bit more, maybe it requires a bit of setting in for it to straighten out?

[whiteboy]

my front went down a little after a week or so, so it should be fine, and ya the left side link bolts were gay we couldn't take them off if our life depended on them someone either over torqued them or just wayyyyyyy rusted, funny thing is the car is way less than a year old even heh =/

yah man, more pics, the shadows and the angle dont do it justice, otherwise, good for you!

Look good! Keep us updated on your sway bar link.

Looks great. Why does the front end have such a large gap? Is the back weighted down?

[2k4CamThrilla]

looks great, you should take pics within weeks time!

geoff,
looks great. overall except the messed up link, how difficult was the install. seems the front assembly was bit more labor ?

thanks

[TRD VVTi]

It looks great!

Thanks guys! The back looks like it's sagged because of the shadow, theres still about an inch of clearance between the tire and fender. I'll post another pic at the end of this post.

I bought the sway bar link from Toyota for $80 (ripoff, oh well), and I had the local shop install it for me, but he didnt even charge me since I gave him so much business in the past. So now the link is fixed and I can say I absolutely love it! The handling is soo much better, I take turns much faster and it feels like I have alot more control.

The rear was harder then the front, mainly because you had to remove alot of the interior to get to the rear mounts. Took about 4-5 hours total.



Here are a couple of pics from the install, and another few shots after the springs were installed.










And heres a pic after it's lowered, from a different angle. You can see that the rear isnt sagged.
